#1882: GHC's vfork() silently dies, which renders compiling impossible
------------------------------------------+---------------------------------
Reporter: raw | Owner:
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: Compiler | Version: 6.8.1
Severity: blocker | Resolution:
Keywords: waitpid, vfork, ghc, hang | Testcase:
Architecture: x86 | Os: Unknown
------------------------------------------+---------------------------------
Comment (by raw):
This behaviour is triggered by a cyclic dependency between xmonad and
xmonad-contrib.
Simple steps to reproduce:
1. Compile and install XMonadContrib
2. Edit xmonads cabal file and introduce a dependency on xmonad-contrib
3. Compile and install XMonad
4. Try to compile it again
These steps trigger said behaviour 5 out of 5 times on my box.
