Comment:
OK, it turns out this was an instance of #917. GHC was turning the
infinite list into a CAF. When the program was run from the command-line,
the initial parts of that list could be garbage collected since they would
only be used once. But when the program was run from within GHCi, the
entire list would be retained since the program might be run multiple
times in the same session.
