yes, at least one was reported by me and fixed in 6.4.1. i attached my
test case for this bug and it is the description:

enclosed program demostrates either bug in GHC 6.2.1/win32 or bug in my mind :)

algorithm:

1. we create several threads with forkOS
2. each thread calls C function
3. C function in each thread made several calls back to Haskell
4. called Haskell functions do some work with memory
5. all these threads ended because C function returns
6. we create another several threads...

after repeating these steps several times program crashes
