Kind error has wrong line

With the attached test file (t.hs) I get the following
result:
--------------------------

but line 4 is correct (it is in fact an example from
the userguide)

-------------------------------------- example file: t.hs
module Main where

  iomatrix_read_elem  :: (iomat b) -> Int -> Int -> IO b
  iomatrix_write_elem :: (iomat b) -> Int -> Int -> b
-> IO ()


hello = "foo" -- junk code may be some lines


-- here is the kind error 
type IOMatrix matRep = IOMatrixIf matRep b => (IO matRep)
