Segmentation fault of ghc-pkg.exe from 32-bit distribution of ghc-8.2.2 on Windows 7
On Windows 7 call of ghc-pkg utility from 32-bit ghc-8.2.2 distribution is always ended with Segmentation fault error.
With use of Cygwin the error can be reproduced this way: run cmd.exe and in the appeared console window execute the following commands
c:\Users\user.name\wrk> bash
$ mkdir ghc-pkg-check
$ cd ghc-pkg-check
$ curl https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/8.2.2/ghc-8.2.2-i386-unknown-mingw32.tar.xz > ghc-8.2.2-i386-unknown-mingw32.tar.xz

$ cd ghc-8.2.2/bin/
$ ./ghc-pkg.exe --version
GHC package manager version 8.2.2
Segmentation faultThe error arises irrespective of how and with what arguments to call ghc-pkg utility. For example, firstly I has faced the problem using stack from Windows console:
> stack build --arch=i386 --resolver=11.9I checked another distributions of GHC for presence of this bug on Windows 7. 64-bit version of ghc-8.2.2, 32-bit and 64-bit versions of ghc-8.0.2 and ghc-8.4.2 are free of the problem. I **did not check** the problem **on another versions** of MS Windows.
