No, this is not a bug. The problem is, that findall is (to be in line
with the Curry Report) implemented by means of the try operation. The
try operation is not easy to implement in our setting, therefore it
currently just reports an admittedly cryptic error message. I suppose we
should remove the unsupported operations from the Prelude.

But there are other operations that you could use to solve your problem.
The module AllSolutions exports the IO operations getAllValues :: a ->
IO [a] and getAllSolutions :: (a -> Success) -> IO [a] that in most
cases should yield the same results as findall.

Regards,
Fabian
