RE: strange selectee 11
I don't suppose you guys have a freebsd port of ghc-4.06 up your sleeves do you? We tried using the existing 4.04 port with 4.06 sources but it complained about -lHSlang when linking hsc. It'll be ready shortly (but probably not in time to get on the FreeBSD 4.0 CD, sadly). I had a bit of trouble with the HC files not matching up properly, but I've now put up a fresh working set on haskell.org. The 4.04 port needs a few tweaks to work with 4.06, partly because the stock 4.06 sources weren't tested for HC-bootstrapping before the release and there's a few lurking bugs. Cheers, Simon

RE: strange selectee 11
This is a Bad Situation. It looks like a bug in the garbage collector, which are very hard to reproduce. It will probably go away if you change *anything* (heap size etc). Do pls try it with 4.06. If it happens there then we'd better get the source and see if we can reproduce it.

RE: strange selectee 11
Would upgrading to 4.06 be likely to help here? Maybe. Try. If your program relies on concurrency or non-blocking IO, it might help. J
RE: strange selectee 11
Thinking about this more, the error msg has a familiar sound to it. Did you use 4.04 patchlevel 0 or 1 ? pl 0 has some rts-ish probs which were fixed in pl1 (and of course in 4.06). J Would upgrading to 4.06 be likely to help here?

The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 4.04, patchlevel 1 My program is just a plain old compiler. No concurrency, all I/O is through readFile and writeFile. There is a little GreenCard stuff (the DFS library is just too slow when run under Hugs) - but it just marshalls Ints and the like (ie no foreigns or stables). It could take a few days to get 4.06 installed - I'll submit a request and get back to you. I also managed to get the 'strange selectee' error but with number 27 instead while compiling. The thing is that I'm running ghc 4.06 . The file I compiled was a Lex generated file. /Josef

That should ofcourse be Alex. /Josef
