Due to a bug in the build system, stage 3 was being built using the stage 1 
compiler (I tried on 2 previous occasions to fix this, but apparently I failed 
to push the patches twice :-().  Hence these GC errors are coming from a stage 1 
built using an old GHC (in this case 5.04.3) so don't indicate current bugs (phew!).
