Hi. I have an application compiled with ghc and using C via FFI (and lots of Haskell libraries as well) and it keeps annoying me with segfaults and (worse) unpredictable behaviour. I guess a C programmer would now apply electric-fence or valgrind. Is this a reasonable approach for ghc+ffi as well? E.g., this:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread 0x4114f950 (LWP 8343)] 0x00007f5af4e273b5 in free () from /usr/lib/libefence.so.0 (gdb) where #0 0x00007f5af4e273b5 in free () from /usr/lib/libefence.so.0 #1 0x00007f5af4059519 in ??

() Is this a reason to distrust libcurl (the C libs) or curl (the Haskell package)?
