Comment:
I'ld like to re-open this ticket, because the problem is not fixed. I
cannot reliably reproduce the problem under x86 solaris, but I have a
(hopefully) related problem under sparc solaris that crashes more often
with a bus error. About every second call of
{{{
cabal install terminfo --reinstall
}}}
fails with:
{{{

cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:

}}}
I'm using my ghc-7.0.4 from http://www.informatik.uni-
bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets/solaris/ghc/ghc-7.0.4
-sparc-sun-solaris2.tar.bz2 and:
{{{
cabal-install version 0.10.2
using version 1.10.2.0 of the Cabal library
}}}
So compiling is possible if it is simple repeated often enough! A
successful call ends with:
{{{

dist/build/System/Console/Terminfo.o )

Installing library in /home/maeder/.cabal/lib/terminfo-0.3.1.3/ghc-7.0.4
Registering terminfo-0.3.1.3...
}}}
The `truss -o` output produced for both cases can be found under
http://www.informatik.uni-
bremen.de/agbkb/forschung/formal_methods/CoFI/hets/solaris/ghc/
Any ideas how to track down these crashes?
