On several Linux machines
where my home directory is mounted by NFS from a Solaris machine,
I get the following behaviour both in ghc and ghci:
Directory.getDirectoryContents will throw an error on any directory in
"NFS-space", so even *calling* ghc or ghci causes problems:
ghc won't compile anything because it can't find some header files
(they are there) and ghci complains on starting. ghci will fail in the
test case I tried, too.

Prelude> Directory.getDirectoryContents "/home/stolz" >>= print
*** Exception: invalid argument
Action: getDirectoryContents
Reason: Invalid argument
However, calling getDirectoryContents on a local file system like "/usr"
works fine.
ghc[i] was built from source. The Solaris binary provided on the GHC-
download page works fine. I'll investigate FreeBSD as soon as I get home.
Feel free to ask for more details regarding machine setup/compilation.
