5905,ghc with incorrect arguments deletes source file,dowski,,"I'm just learning haskell and I mistakenly passed the -o argument to ghc instead of -c.  When combined with the -i argument (which I also mistakenly supplied, thinking of ghci), this unlinks the file named by -o.

This is certainly a case of PEBKAC, but ghc should probably do something other than unlinking the file.
