        Type:  bug      |      Status:  new     
    Priority:  normal   |   Component:  Compiler
     Version:  6.8.3    |    Severity:  normal

Architecture:  powerpc  |          Os:  MacOS X

 HPDF-1.4, which is available on Hackage, compiles successfully with
 ghc-6.8.2.   However,  attempting to compile the same with ghc-6.8.3
 fails,  but GHC does not produce any kind of error message.    By turning
 up the verbosity,  it appears the problem is in the simplification pass:

 {{{
 [11 of 30] Compiling Graphics.PDF.Coordinates (
 Graphics/PDF/Coordinates.hs, dist/build/Graphics/PDF/Coordinates.o )
 *** Parser:
 *** Renamer/typechecker:
 *** Desugar:
     Result size = 1147
 *** Simplify:
     Result size = 781
     Result size = 769
     Result size = 769
 *** Specialise:
     Result size = 769
 *** Float out (not lambdas, not constants):
     Result size = 823
 *** Float inwards:
     Result size = 823
 *** Simplify:
 /usr/local/bin/ghc returned ExitFailure 4
 }}}

 This result was obtained on Darwin-PPC.   I would check to see if this
 fails on an Intel box as well,  but I don't have convenient access to one
 at the moment.
