RE: fatal error in GHC: strange selectee

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

Sven fixed this GC bug a week or two back.
Your programs compile ok with the current CVS compiler,
(which we are desperately trying to get settled so we can
release it).

If you can try the current version, I think you'll find
it will work.
