No GHC support for a week

[Simon Marlow]

I'm still having trouble reproducing this heapCensus crash.

<plea>
If *anyone* has a program which generates this heapCensus failure,
regardless of whether it's reliably repeatable or not, please send me
the code.  I'd love to get this one nailed before 5.04.2.
</plea>

Cheers,
	Simon
