I am trying to determine why my stack overflows in my medium sized

You shouldn't need ghcprof. Just compiling with -prof -auto-all will be
enough to get you able to use allocation profiling, then running with
+RTS -p -RTS will generate an allocation profile as a fairly readable
text file.
It may be the function below, which tries to determine if a list of
strict bytestrings is longer than the count given.
Taking stabs in the dark is not a good idea, and sprinkling strictness
annotations around in an undirected manner won't help, either, however
much it might feel like doing something concrete. Start with looking at
the profile output. You'll probably find it's a different part of your
code entirely that's causing the problem.
