When I call the GC.Exts.traceEvent function (argument: "hello") with event logging enabled (i.e., compiled with -eventlog and run with -ls) my program generates a segmentation fault. Here is the gdb backtrace:

#0  0x00007f3ad6744a2f in vfprintf () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1  0x00007f3ad677039a in vsnprintf () from /lib/libc.so.6
#2  0x00000000004476c4 in postLogMsg (eb=0x8160d0, type=19, 
    msg=0x7f3ad5d7e010 "hello", ap=0x0) at rts/eventlog/EventLog.c:403
#3  0x0000000000447853 in postUserMsg (cap=0x69b780, 
    msg=0x7f3ad5d7e010 "hello") at rts/eventlog/EventLog.c:433
#4  0x000000000043b012 in traceUserMsg (cap=0x69b780, 
    msg=0x7f3ad5d7e010 "hello") at rts/Trace.c:290
#5  0x000000000044e237 in stg_traceEventzh ()
#6  0x0000000000000000 in ?? ()

It's not at all clear to me what could be going wrong here.
