Two problems with heap profiling

[Stefan Reich]

Hi Simon,

I found a suitable large file that is certainly on your harddisk - the 
GHC 6.2.1 user's guide (users_guide.ps, 1205288 bytes) :-)

I attached new Haskell source file (you will need to adapt the file 
path). Compilation and invocation as in my previous mail. The program 
crashes every time I run it (Windows XP this time, but I assume that 
doesn't make a difference).

Thanks in advance for your help,
-Stefan

-------------- next part --------------
module Main where
import IO

main = do
  contents <- readFile "/ghc/ghc-6.2.1/doc/users_guide.ps"
  putStrLn $ "lines: " ++ show (length (lines contents))
