I'm looking at the current failure of DPH with the new code generator,
which is a bit different from what I've dealt with before.  The bug appears
to be in the compiled libraries code, and I can tickle it with the
following minimized example:

    {-# LANGUAGE ParallelArrays #-}
    {-# OPTIONS -fvectorise #-}
    module PrimesVect where

    import Data.Array.Parallel.Prelude
    import qualified Prelude

    f :: PArray Bool
    f = toPArrayP f'

    f' :: [:Bool:]
    f' = [: True | _ <- singletonP True, g emptyP:]

    g :: [:Bool:] -> Bool
    g ps = andP [: True | _ <- ps:]

and a runner:

    import qualified Data.Array.Parallel.PArray as P
    import PrimesVect

    main = print (P.toList f)

I expect to get [True], but instead I get:

    dph-primespj-fast: libraries/vector/Data/Vector/Generic.hs:369 (slice): 
invalid slice (0,1,0)
    dph-primespj-fast: thread blocked indefinitely in an MVar operation

Now, in the situation that the library code is broken, I'd usually try to inline
all of the library code and then pare that down into something manageable.  
Unfortunately,
DPH is pretty closely tied to the compiler, so I don't see an easy way to do 
that.
So I'm not really sure how to go about debugging this.

Cheers,
Edward
