It's probably outdated junk. What a mess ;-)

IIRC, the complaint (from that time 10 years ago) was that ghci
crached at the same moment you enter a character not supported by
whatever LC_CTYPE contains.
So, yes, if you have the time to rebuild without that patch and
test it , I'll love it.
(Can't do this for mmyself, because my port building machine still
causes troubles)
