Changes (by SamB):

  * version:  6.6 => 6.6.1

Comment:

 This doesn't work in 6.6.1 either, though a different error message is
 given:

 {{{
 Prelude> :set -fth
 Prelude> $(let s = replicate 26227 'x' in [| s |])
 Loading package template-haskell ... linking ... done.
 ghc-6.6.1: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 6.6.1 for i386-unknown-linux):
         linkBCO: >= 64k insns in BCO
 }}}

 Also, I was actually trying to use Derive to create some instance
 declarations (which I want to put in a file rather than compile), rather
 than just lifting a boring list into TH, but this code is much shorter.
