I also see a segfault on Windows XP SP2 and GHC 6.10.1, very quick so
I'm fairly sure it's not memory.
 
I agree this should be a bug report.

        Regarding the "black hole detection", is GHCI supposed to exit

Hmm, that's weird.  I note that here on linux, this expression gobbles
up memory like nobody's business.  Maybe it's being killed for eating
too much?  (I dunno)
