+    
+    
+    Is "deriving Show" meant to work for higher-order nested datatypes ?
+    Hugs hangs when loading in the following file:
+-}
+
+module Foo where
+
+type SqMat a = SM Nil a
+
+data SM f a = ZeroS (f (f a)) | SuccS (SM (Cons f) a) 
+		       deriving Show
+
+
+data Nil a = MkNil deriving Show
+
+data Cons f a = MkCons a (f a)
+		       deriving Show
+
+
