SIGSEGV in Text.Regex

Hi all,

while writing a little download-some-weblog-program I
encountered what appears to be a memory management
bug in Text.Regex of ghc-6.0.1.

Both 6.0 and 6.0.1 crash. I didn't try other versions yet.

possible interesting information can be found at:

http://home.wanadoo.nl/remi.turk/tmp/LJGet/grepHref.bz2
http://home.wanadoo.nl/remi.turk/tmp/LJGet/grepHref.hs

If I need to provide additional information or isolate
the problem into a smaller code-fragment, please let me
know.

Happy hacking,
Remi
