Hi Simon, No time to try to reproduce it, I'm preparing for a conference ;)
I haven't seen the bug recently, but ... tangentially I was musing that if someone could devote some time to turning the GHC internal error message (which I've seen on over a hundred occasions, I'm sure) into a tool that queries the user and then, if he is OK with sharing his code (as a quite large number of programmers are) sends a core dump of GHC into some repository to be analysed, it might be beneficial for the GHC development process in the long run. This concept probably has a standard name that I don't know - I think something vaguely similar was done with some web browsers once, although perhaps not with the entire program state. It sounds like it might be difficult to implement, though. Just a thought.
