Corruption of expression typed at prompt

cjbackhouse@hotmail.com

WinXP SP2 GHC 6.4.1

On two occasions now I have loaded my program and typed
at the prompt "toFile blah" and got the error "Not in
scope 'goFile'". Repeating the expressione evaluates it
correctly. Is strange that both times it was exactly
the same function whose name was corrupted.
Does not seem to particularly repeatable (I've had it
twice out of maybe a hundred times I've done this)
Doubt it has anything to do with the details of my code
(which has changed substantially since last time this
happened)
Assume some (completely random) part of ghc is
corrupting  what was typed at the prompt. This will,
unfortunately, probably make it completely impossible
to find...
