GPF WinXP GHCi 6.4

[Simon Marlow]

This is caused by a clash between the new Win32 package and the old
win32 package.  The Windows installer contains both, but unfortunately
they clash on the name of the libraries.
 
I think the new Win32 library is ready to replace the old one (Ross?).
If that's the case, Sigbjorn, would you mind re-rolling the installer
without hslibs/win32?  Thanks.
 
Simon

Subject: Bug: GPF WinXP GHCi 6.4 


GHC 6.4 Final Release - tried the sample code for Graphics.HGL, i.e.

module Main where {

    import Graphics.HGL;

    main :: IO ();
    main = runGraphics $
        withWindow_ "Hello World Window" (300, 200) $ \ w -> do
        drawInWindow w $ text (100, 100) "Hello World"
        drawInWindow w $ ellipse (100, 80) (200, 180)
        getKey w;
}

WindowsXP Home.  
First attempt in GHCi is as below.  Retrying main causes a GPF error
box.

c:\temp>ghci Main
