ByteString causes C stack overflow in generated code

I accidentally left off the apostrophe in the following code.

cData = L.copy cData'

That's how I found out that 'fix copy' causes Haskell programs to die.

import Data.ByteString.Lazy
import Control.Monad.Fix
main = print (fix copy)
>ghc file.hs

>main
C stack overflow in generated code
