Dude, now I have to rebuild GHC *again*? 

Even with -dcore-lint, though, the compiler still seems to panic on
certain ill-typed Core programs (this is using GHC 5.04.1 installed from
rpms); one of these days I'll find a minimal test case and submit a bug
report.

I'm using it to test a program transformation I'm implementing (type-inference-
based deforestation) without linking into or hacking GHC (since I got quite
enough of that before the External Core feature existed). Since I'm still
debugging my transformation, it sometimes produces ill-typed programs, which is
how I've encountered all these bugs.
