After fiddling around a bit, I found out that you can get a heap profile from a program that dies from an error, but not one that dies from actually running out of heap space. I was able to take advantage of this by making the main thread do a threadDelay and then error, with the threadDelay timed to occur during the program's misbehavior. -- Evan Klitzke <e...@eklitzke.org> :wq _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
