take n (take m list) returns [] for some m.

See the example below. I think the second output should be [1], too. I also tried ghc and runghc, and the results were the same.

ghci> take 1 (take (10^11) [1..])
[1]
it :: [Integer]
ghci> take 1 (take (10^12) [1..])
[]
it :: [Integer]
ghci> take 1 (take (10^13) [1..])
[1]
it :: [Integer]

Thanks for the report. But actually, this is not a bug:

On a 32bit machine, (10^12) :: Int is -727379968.

This will give you [1]:

import Data.List

take 1 (genericTake (10^12) [1..])
