:info panics when used on breakpoint bindings

After stopping at a breakpoint, asking GHCi for :info about the bindings causes a panic. I have only tested in Mac Os 10.5, but I expect the behaviour to be consistent in all platforms.

[qsort.hs:(1,0)-(3,54)] *Main> :step
Stopped at qsort.hs:2:16-51
_result :: [Integer] = _
a :: Integer = 1
left :: [Integer] = _
