There's still something screwy going on here with the random generation or 
passing the gen to cointoss. Shouldn't newStdGen be updating getStdGen?

I've been running it and entering 'h' four (4) times, then aborting with CNTL-C.
Each time I either get

You lose!
You lose!
You win!
You lose!

or

You win!
You win!
You lose!
You win!

That's all, should be getting some variation.

======================

import System.Random

coinToss :: StdGen -> IO ()
coinToss gen = putStrLn "What's your guess, heads or tails ('h' or 't')?"
               >> fmap head getLine
               >>= \c -> let (randInt, _) = randomR(0,1) gen :: (Int, StdGen)
                         in if c == ((!!) "ht" randInt) then putStrLn "You 
win!" else putStrLn "You lose!"

main = do
  gen <- getStdGen
  coinToss gen
  gen <- newStdGen
  main

I always find it frightening to play with lazy IO :).
