[Haskell-cafe] Crash in GHCI - what is the correct behavior here?

[Sittampalam, Ganesh]

I also see a segfault on Windows XP SP2 and GHC 6.10.1, very quick so
I'm fairly sure it's not memory.
 
I agree this should be a bug report.

Hmm, that's weird.  I note that here on linux, this expression gobbles
up memory like nobody's business.  Maybe it's being killed for eating
too much?  (I dunno)
