Hi,

We are puzzled by what we think is possiby a typechecker bug, as the only
difference between Tbool and Tfloat below is the specific type (either bool
or float). Is there any other explanation? I would like to get some
confirmation that this is indeed a bug before submitting it as a bug
report.

Here is the content of test.ml:

module Test (A: sig type t end) (B: sig type x = {f:A.t} end) = struct end

module Abool = struct type t = bool end
module Bbool = struct type x = {f:bool} end

module Afloat = struct type t = float end
module Bfloat = struct type x = {f:float} end

module Tbool  = Test(Abool) (Bbool)
module Tfloat = Test(Afloat)(Bfloat)


And here is the output (both in Ocaml-3.06 and 3.07beta):

$ ocamlc -c test.ml
File "test.ml", line 11, characters 29-35:
Signature mismatch:
Modules do not match:
  sig type x = Bfloat.x = { f : float; }  end
is not included in
  sig type x = { f : Afloat.t; }  end
Type declarations do not match:
  type x = Bfloat.x = { f : float; }
is not included in
  type x = { f : Afloat.t; }
