.exe extension missing when compiling a file ending in dot + digits + dot hs

Hi all,

I just encountered this very minor bug on Windows/GHC 6.8.2

When compiling a file that ends in .N.hs where N is a series of digits, the executable is missing the .exe extension.

I can of course workaround the problem by specifying the file name with the -o flag.

Here is a series of test I made to determine when the bug occurs. Look at the Linking ... line that shows the executable name.

C:\Temp\Haskell>ghc --make Test_0.hs
[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( Test_0.hs, Test_0.o )
Linking Test_0.exe ...

C:\Temp\Haskell>ren Test_0.hs Test.0.hs

C:\Temp\Haskell>ghc --make Test.0.hs
[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( Test.0.hs, Test.0.o )
Linking Test.0 ...

C:\Temp\Haskell>ren Test.0.hs Test.012.hs

C:\Temp\Haskell>ghc --make Test.012.hs
[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( Test.012.hs, Test.012.o )
Linking Test.012 ...

Best regards,

Olivier.
