This bug is reported from http://axman6.homeip.net/blog/2009/02/shootout-
pidigits-program-kinda-sucks-and-possibly-so-does-ghc.html . I will
duplicate some content here, since blogs hosted at *.homeip.net seem
likely to be down more than the average blog.
[http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u64q/benchmark.php?test=pidigits&lang=ghc&id=1
PiDigits on 6.10] takes over 300mb of memory, but
[http://winterkoninkje.livejournal.com/ wren ng thornton] notes that the
program only takes 3mb when compiled with 6.8.2.
BTW, I'm on linux x86, while the shootout is on x86_64.
