OpengGL lockup using GHC 6.6 on Intel Mac

[Deborah Goldsmith]

I can reproduce this with ghc-6.6 built from source as well. I  
sampled ghc while it was stuck like this, and it looks like it's  
trying to open a GUI event loop (not surprising if it's opening a  
window). It looks like something about that is not working.

Unfortunately, the Intel binary distribution on the downloads page is  
missing some of the OpenGL C headers, and so won't work properly either.
