Having finally managed to get the profiled concurrent
version of ghc-0.29 compiled I discovered it was all
a wasted effort. (This was all on Solaris 2.5,
running on a Pentium.)

I tried compiling the following very simple program

import Concurrent

main = forkIO (putStr "hello\n")

with the command

ghc -fhaskell-1.3 -prof -concurrent main.hs

The program compiled with no problems but
when running it, there was immediately
a segmentation fault.

I got the following warning message a few times 
when compiling the profiled concurrent libraries
(libs_mr):

ghc: WARNING: splitting objects when profiling will 
*BREAK* if any _scc_s are present!

Could this have anything to do with it?

Cheers,
