Internal error from invalid syntax

[Neil Turton-5]

I wrote the following haskell program and hugs reported an internal
compiler error when I tried to load it.  The syntax is invalid but I
would expect a sensible error message rather than the internal error
which I got.

Cheers, Neil.

falcon:tmp$ cat foo.hs
class Foo x where
    foo :: x

instance Foo () where
    foo ?
falcon:tmp$ hugs foo.hs

Hi Neil,

I reported it in the bug tracker:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hugs/ticket/91 - at least this way it
won't get forgotten.

Thanks

Neil

Thanks for that.  I tried to create a ticket myself, but hadn't
realised you have to use the guest account.

Cheers, Neil.
