I believe I've just fixed this, but please let me know if there is more
to it.

If the only other known issue is an unidentified performance bug (which
isn't a regression, and may even just be due to the flags used when
compiling or something) then I'd favour sticking with the current code
at this point in the release. We are less likely to be bitten by unknown
issues, API changes etc that way.

For the HEAD/6.12 we can drop the GHC fork when we do the Great VCS
Switch.


Thanks
