Summary: Case missing in garbage collector

Initial Comment:
I'm on a sparc running solaris 2.7. The problem shows
up for a recent ghc built from cvs.

When I compile some files I get the following error
message:
ghc-5.03: fatal error: evacuate: THUNK_SELECTOR:
strange selectee 10

The error goes away if I remove the -O flag.

This is especially annoying when bootstrapping the
compiler. Sample module for which this problem arises
are:
PrelWord
PrelCTypes
PrelCString
PrelCError
PrelHandle

I've added the missing case, let me know if that fixes it 
for you (we haven't seen the bug locally, but it may be 
due to minor differences in the build configurations).
