This program using the derive package:

{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell, EmptyDataDecls #-}
import Data.DeriveTH
import Data.Derive.Enum
data Void
$(derive makeEnum ''Void)

produces a compiler panic:

rwbarton@functor:~/code/haskell$ ghc --make panic

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

Matt Morrow has reproduced this in a ghc 6.10 prelease.

I don't particularly need a derived Enum instance for Void, but the error message told me to report a bug.
