panic (the impossible happened) when compiling with -O2

when compiling the attached program with -O2 I get the following error:

ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)

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

When compiling without -O2, it works. I am using TypeFamilies (for the List class)
