the type of System.Posix.Process.executeFile is not general enough
Because System.Posix.Process.executeFile does not return, its return type should be IO a, not IO (). This change would make it possible to use System.Posix.Process.executeFile in a context that expects IO Int or IO ProcessStatus, for example.
I may well have assigned this bug to the wrong library.
