ghc fails sans error message.

HPDF-1.4, which is available on Hackage, compiles successfully with ghc-6.8.2. However, attempting to compile the same with ghc-6.8.3 fails, but GHC does not produce any kind of error message. By turning up the verbosity, it appears the problem is in the simplification pass:

[11 of 30] Compiling Graphics.PDF.Coordinates ( Graphics/PDF/Coordinates.hs, dist/build/Graphics/PDF/Coordinates.o )
*** Parser:
*** Renamer/typechecker:
*** Desugar:
    Result size = 1147
*** Simplify:
    Result size = 781
    Result size = 769
    Result size = 769
*** Specialise:
    Result size = 769
*** Float out (not lambdas, not constants):
    Result size = 823
*** Float inwards:
    Result size = 823
*** Simplify:
/usr/local/bin/ghc returned ExitFailure 4

This result was obtained on Darwin-PPC. I would check to see if this fails on an Intel box as well, but I don't have convenient access to one at the moment.
