ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)

Thanks.  Certainly a bug. I've created a ticket http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7372.

Turns out that it's fixed in HEAD already, and I *think* the fix is in http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7312, which should get into 7.6.2.

|  
|  You can avoid the error by replacing
|  
|    eval :: Exp -> (->) Memory Integer
|  
|  with
|  
|    eval :: Exp -> Memory -> Integer
|  
|  which should be the same, but apparently isn't internally in GHC. This is definitely
|  a bug.
