I too was seeing this with RC1, but I haven't tried RC2. Looking at the commits on the 7.4 branch, I don't see anything that would have likely affected/fixed it, so I speculate I'll see the same thing with RC2. I'll try tonight and report back.
I will note that manually built copies of HEAD work just dandy. I do wonder if it's a problem with the binary distribution itself, as opposed to some bug fix that didn't get merged into 7.4. I wonder if I built my own copy and binary-dist of 7.4 if GHCi would segfault or not - this would indicate it being a problem with the binary distribution if it doesn't (which sucks, as it means you have to compile it yourself.) Ian, can I ask what the procedure would be to check out the 7.4 branch of GHC and all the associated libraries to try this out? I'm not familiar with all the `sync-all`-fu, but I speculate it's what'll do it. :) On Fri, Jan 27, 2012 at 10:57 PM, Evan Laforge <qdun...@gmail.com> wrote: > Unfortunately ghci still segfaults for me most times (the previous > release candidate did too).
