I tested it on the following GHC/platform combinations:
* 6.0.1 linux-x86
Bug not observed
* 6.2 irix-mips64
It triggered a known bug with the Oct 23, GHC 6.2, mips64 port:
ghc-6.2: internal error: update_fwd: unknown/strange object 0
Please report this as a bug to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
or http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/ghc/
*** Error code 254 (bu21)
* 6.2 linux-ia64
Triggered an _unknown_ bug on the Sep 14th, GHC 6.2, for ia64:
ghc-6.2: internal error: scavenge_mark_stack: unimplemented/strange closure
type 801560 @ 0x2000000001629200
Please report this as a bug to [EMAIL PROTECTED],
or http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/ghc/
make: *** [obj] Error 254
Conclusion: this program should go in the test suite!
