panic: RegAllocLinear.getStackSlotFor: out of stack slots

Trying to cabal install the crypto library, I got the error:

[1 of 4] Compiling Codec.Utils      ( Codec/Utils.hs, dist/build/SHA1Test/SHA1Test-tmp/Codec/Utils.o )
[2 of 4] Compiling Data.Digest.SHA1 ( Data/Digest/SHA1.hs, dist/build/SHA1Test/SHA1Test-tmp/Data/Digest/SHA1.o )

  (GHC version 6.8.3 for i386-unknown-linux):

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

cabal: Error: some packages failed to install:
Crypto-4.1.0 failed during the building phase. The exception was:
exit: ExitFailure 1

twice, so it seems to be reproducible. However, passing the flag -fregs-graph, it built without error (though compiling the SHA1Test Main took a long time, approximately two minutes).
