 Hello Haskellers,

 I have something to report about the interpreter mode command
 "runhaskell". When I try it on a file which contains a very large list (~
 30k entries) it just crashes saying:

 dariob at kurgan > runhaskell A001913.hs
 ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 6.10.4 for i386-unknown-linux):
         linkBCO: >= 64k insns in BCO

 Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug


 I suspect is some hard coded limit in that program, cause when I compile
 it, it goes well and I am able to use the compiled list in another modules
 (takes a while to compile the module with the big list by the way).

 I am attaching the file here, in order to let you reproduce the error. I
 think the only thing special about it is the big size (is a list of
 integers).

 Kind regards,
 Long life to Haskell.
