Just a quick look: On

(the tnaur PPC OSX 2 buildbot slave), I get:

I presume that this confirms your OS X result.

For what it is worth, this validate takes about 35 minutes to complete, 
compared to the about 24 minutes of a validate that was done 2008-Aug-08.

Then there is:

> The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.8.2

(the tnaur x86 Linux buildbot slave) which ends like this:

Finally, using
