 This bug was reported against the Debian package of c2hs, at
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=652507

 c2hs uses shown Language.C data structures as an intermediate
 representation (the .chi files), and has its own code for parsing
 them. It seems that Language.C has changed its Show instance for
 lexemes, and c2hs can no longer parse its own .chi files.

 The symptom for me is that "cabal build" fails with the following
 error message:

   c2hs: Prelude.read: no parse

 Patch attached.

 (Patch at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
 bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;filename=c2hs.diff;att=1;bug=652507)

 Greetings,
 Joachim
