[Caml-list] #show giving funny types

[Malcolm Matalka]

I'm poking around in the toplevel and noticed that some types are coming
out funny.  In particular 'int' is being shown as
'UnixLabels.file_perm'.

For example doing "#show Async_unix.Reader;;" in utop gives me an output
with:

    val really_read :
      t ->
      ?pos:UnixLabels.file_perm ->
      ?len:UnixLabels.file_perm -> Arg.usage_msg -> [ `Eof of
      UnixLabels.file_perm | `Ok ] Async_kernel.Deferred.t

I'm not sure if I've missed this in the list, but is anyone else
experiencing this?

This looks like a problem with the -short-paths option.  Could you
open a Mantis ticket?

I believe this was PR 6763 <http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=6763>.
