Comment (by dbueno):

 I've added an attachment of a test case that triggers this error.  The
 error specifically is:

 ghc-6.8.2: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 6.8.2 for i386-apple-darwin):
         linkBCO: >= 64k insns in BCO

 Since this error happens on Linux too, I won't change the Operating
 System; but I just want to point out this happens on Mac OS X too.
