The program below is compiled on an i386 under Linux,
and invoked:
test +RTS -K10m
braga.tex (a file of about 20K)
this gives a segmentation fault
test +RTS -K10m -H20m
braga.tex
works fine. It also works fine when compiled under Solaris on a Sun Sparc.
It would appear, therefore, that there is a problem with garbage collection
under linux. Is this a Known Problem with a Known Work-around?
I am lecturing at next week's Summer School on Advanced Functional Programming,
and had hoped to produce a binary with ghc for students to play with. All
was developed under Solaris, and I naively assumed it would work under Linux
without any ado...
A swift response would be much appreciated!
