I'm experiencing what may be a similar bug using GHC 5.04.1 on RedHat
Linux. The command line argument to a program invoked from my Haskell
program sometimes is unexpectedly empty, sometimes it contains a substring
of an environment variable's value, sometimes it contains the correct
argument string ("7", in my current case). I'm using the tar file form of
GHC
(<http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/5.04.1/ghc-5.04.1-i386-unknown-linux.tar.bz2>)
because I don't have the privilege to install the rpm form.
My system reports:
[heringto@sediment ~]$ uname -a
Linux sediment 2.4.2-2smp #1 SMP Sun Apr 8 20:21:34 EDT 2001 i686 unknown
[heringto@sediment ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 7.1 (Seawolf)
Am I likely to be suffering a similar problem to the one David Hughes
reported? Any ideas on what I should do to solve it?
