That's a leftover from when profiling didn't support -N, I'll fix it. Thanks!

 From https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/master/rts/RtsFlags.c#L1238 it seems that 
the behavior described in my email below is intended:

```

                 if (rts_argv[arg][2] == '\0') {
#if defined(PROFILING)
                     RtsFlags.ParFlags.nNodes = 1;
#else
                     RtsFlags.ParFlags.nNodes = getNumberOfProcessors();
#endif
```

So, my question is: what is the reason for this difference between the 
profiling and the non-profiling case?

Hi,

The behavior of the -N flag (without argument) with the profiling runtime seems 
inconsistent compared to the behavior without profiling. The following program

```
module Main where

import GHC.Conc

main :: IO ()
main = print numCapabilities
```

when compiled with `ghc -threaded -fforce-recomp Prof.hs` and run as `./Prof 
+RTS -N` prints `2` on my machine. When the same program is compiled with `ghc 
-threaded -fforce-recomp -prof Prof.hs` and executed as `./Prof +RTS -N` it 
prints `1`.

When an argument is provided to `-N` (e.g. `./Prof +RTS -N2`) the profiling and 
non-profiling versions behave the same.

I tested this with GHC-7.10.1 but I think that I already observed the same 
behavior with GHC-7.8.

Is this inconsistency intended?

Lars
