Alas. I haven't been able to reproduce the behaviour afterwards. It seems to
be one of those erratic bugs we all hate.

Anyway, I can give some more details of the scenario when I encountered the
bug. I use XEmacs to edit my Haskell file. When I loaded one particular file
into ghci I got a parse error. I went back to XEmacs and corrected to error.
But when I tried to save the file XEmacs said it couldn't because the file
was busy. I don't remember the exact message though. Going back to ghci and
typing `:l' released the file and I could save it.

Well, its not bother me anymore right now. If the problem shows up again
I'll try and investigate more. Are there any particular things that I should
be looking for in that case?
