Recent Sparc breakage
Sparc users in particular: I've identified some recent breakage in the Sparc port of GHC. If you've been experiencing crashes in binaries generated by a compiler built from recent (at least February) sources, then I've checked in a fix which might help. George, Marc: this probably fixes to the bugs you've both reported. The anon cvs repository should be updated around 1700 GMT today with the fix included (look for an update to fptools/ghc/rts/StgCRun.c). Cheers, Simon

Many thanks to Simon Marlow for tracking down a particularly tiresome bug . . . Assuming he has, that is; if not I'll be complaining this time tomorrow . . .
