#2934: occasional apparent crashes in GC when memory consumption rises

Hi,
I have a program that seems to run into occasional garbage
collection-related core dumps. The problem typically only occurs after the
program has been running for a while and is consuming a large amount of
memory (5 - 16GB). The large memory consumption is expected because the
program analyzes very large traces from verilog simulation and needs to
maintain IntMaps with hundreds of thousands of entries.
Is this a bug that I should report?I am afraid that my employer will not
allow me to share my source code. I do have a stack trace, below.
This was obtained using ghc 6.10.1, RTS -N2 on an x86-64 RHEL 4 machine.
Is there something I can do trace the problem or avoid it?
Thanks.
PS: This is my first Haskell program and one of the most complicated I
ever wrote, in any language. Using Haskell has been (mostly :-)) a joy.
