Memory leak with parMap

With the attached All.hs, if you run the program without any arguments (so that it uses parMap rnf in gen_blocks_list) then its memory usage keeps going up, even though at the top level it's just running the same computation 5 times in a row. Memory usage goes up to over 100M.

If you give an argument (any argument, so that it uses map instead) then memory usage is constant and only a few megs.

Happens in 6.8.2 and the HEAD.
