ghci chews up hugs amount of memory
I often see ghci growing seemingly without bounds,
especially on Happy-generated parsers with
debugging turned on.
Right now, I see a ghci started with -H120m at 508
Megabytes process size. The heap size explosion
happens while (interpretively) loading a variant
of Sven Panne's HsParser with debugging turned on.
(I'm not sure it's a bug, but Simon PJ indicated
at ICFP that it may be, and that I should report it.)
This problem is still present in 5.02.2.
