Panic in ghci 6.8.2 with -fglasgow-exts

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Run "ghci -fglasgow-exts"
  2. Enter: "let const :: (forall a. (forall b. a->b)) = \x::a -> (\y -> x) :: (forall b. b -> a)".

Result:

GHCi, version 6.8.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
Loading package base ... linking ... done.
Prelude> let const :: (forall a. (forall b. a->b)) = \x::a -> (\y -> x) :: (forall b. b -> a)
ghc-6.8.2: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
 (GHC version 6.8.2 for i386-unknown-linux):
	nameModule a{tv anJ}

Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

Let me know if any more information would be helpful. This is all on a Ubuntu 8.04. I have included below the output of running the above with "ghci -v -fglasgow-exts":

ghci -v
