Hi,
this panic emanates from isn'tIn in utils/Util.lhs. Why
this condition merits a compiler panic, I do not know.
It is only checked for in DEBUG mode, though.
I guess this demonstrates that I've never compiled up hdirect
with a version of ghc that itself was compiled with DEBUG on.
If the version of 4.04 you're using is one you've built yourself,
I suggest you re-build the contents of ghc/compiler/ without
-DDEBUG & proceed from there. If that's not possible, maybe
someone has got a 4.04.1 binary bundle for your platform that
wasn't compiled with -DDEBUG on?
I've yet to try 4.06, but doubt the HDirect sources would
compile cleanly due to the recent library re-org.
