Comment (by atze):

 I have the same problem on AMD64, I have written a ray tracer in parallel
 and with -N(2-8) (university computer, 8 cores) the program crashes every
 time with a segmentation fault. -g1 fixes the problem but the program ran
 much faster with parallel garbage collection :( Source code is available
 if anyone wants it for testing purposes(post request here). Please fix
 this, parallel garbage collection gives major speed increases! Thanks, ghc
 and haskell are great.
