The problem is that the 4.01 hsc seg-faults from time to time, and the
exact circumstances are hard to reproduce. Good candidates are scanners
generated by lx (but not all of them). This is independent of the
Linux system used (SuSe 5.3 = libc5, SuSE 6.0 = libc6, with the
correspondingly compiled 4.01s), so I suspect some GC problems. Hmm,
once I had an error like "GC: strange closure type", but the programs
were quite large and hard to boil down. This was one of the reasons I'm
trying to compile the latest-and-greatest ghc...
Cheers,
Sven
