#5003: test 4038 (ghci) fails on OS X 64 bit.
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Reporter: gwright | Owner: gwright
Type: bug | Status: new
Priority: high | Milestone: 7.2.1
Component: GHCi | Version: 7.0.2

Blockedby: | Difficulty:
Os: Unknown/Multiple | Blocking:
Architecture: x86_64 (amd64) | Failure: Runtime crash
---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
Comment(by altaic):
I'll hypothesize that the reason the test doesn't fail on x86 is that
`sizeof(SIZEOF_LONG)` = 4, which means half as much of the stack is eaten
by each call. So the 4038 test should also fail on a 32-bit machine when
modified with `main = f 2000 >>= print`.
