Comment:

 This turned out to be caused by an old Linux threads bug; from
 pthreads(7):
 {{{
        Some NPTL non-conformances only occur with older kernels:

        -  The  information returned by times(2) and getrusage(2) is per-
 thread
           rather than process-wide (fixed in kernel 2.6.9).
 }}}
 The solution is to use a newer kernel, or to compile ghc(i) without
 -threaded.
