Comment:
I actually expected to get an exception stating "out of heap", like it
also works for stack overflows. I have a catch all exception catcher, but
this one isn't triggered. Also the actual output doesn't state it's an
exception, so I guess it really is not. So, I am reopening it again.
Again, to be clear: I want that
{{{
Control.Exception.catch
action
(\exception -> do
appendFile "/home/me/exception" (show exception)
return Nothing)
}}}
where action contains the code that overflows the heap does not result in
a complete program failure, it should just be a _local_ problem (i.e. an
exception). This also means that the test case is likely to be wrong.
