Optimizations change result of div for Word

Here is test case

import Data.Word

main :: IO ()
main = do
  print $ (maxBound :: Word) `div` 101

And result of execution

$ ghc -fforce-recomp -O2 --make reduce.hs && ./reduce
[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( reduce.hs, reduce.o )
Linking reduce ...

Bug is only present on 32-bit systems. It goes away if rewrite rules are disable with -fno-enable-rewrite-rules or anything but maxBound is used as first argument or second argument is forced to be a funcion argument. So it could be bug in constant folding.
