Some programs crash when runing REPL with --nonmoving-gc on Windows using GHC 9.8.1

Summary

To improve performance in REPL, we can turn on the --nonmoving-gc option (see the related issue #24416).

However, on Windows, some programs will crash.

Steps to reproduce

Create a cabal project

test/
|   test.cabal
\---app
        Main.hs

test.cabal

cabal-version:      3.0
name:               test
version:            0.1.0.0
build-type:         Simple

common warnings
    ghc-options: -Wall

executable test
    import:           warnings
    main-is:          Main.hs
    build-depends:    base ^>=4.19.0.0
                    , gloss >= 1.10  && <1.14

                    , random      >=1.1 && <1.3
                    , containers  >= 0.5 && < 0.7

Error: cabal.exe: repl failed for exe:test from test-0.1.0.0. The build
process terminated with exit code 11

P.S. The above program might not crash on your side.

In order to reproduce, you have to add more code, such as import Graphics.Gloss, picture, main.

For example:

module Main where

import Graphics.Gloss
import System.Random
import Data.Map
import Data.Vector

main :: IO ()
main
 = display
        (InWindow
               "Hello World"     -- window title
                (400, 150)       -- window size
                (10, 10))        -- window position
        white                    -- background color
        picture                  -- picture to display

picture :: Picture
picture
        = Translate (-170) (-20) -- shift the text to the middle of the window
        $ Scale 0.5 0.5          -- display it half the original size
        $ Text "Hello World"     -- text to display

Expected behavior

Don't crash.

Environment
