 I am debugging some numerical code and thought it would be easy to put the
 results into a Haskell module in order to analyse/filter it.

 First ghc stack overflowed.

 I chopped up the results, but still got:

 [1 of 1] Compiling Bugs12Sep2008    ( Bugs12Sept2008B.lhs, interpreted )
 ghc-6.8.2: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 6.8.2 for i386-apple-darwin):
         linkBCO: >= 64k insns in BCO
