Standalone deriving of NFData causes panic

Using the -XStandaloneDeriving option, I tried to generate an NFData instance for the CNF type from the funsat 0.60 package on Hackage.

{-# LANGUAGE StandaloneDeriving #-}
module Broken where

import Funsat.Types
import Control.Parallel.Strategies

deriving instance NFData AST

With ghc 6.12.1 on 32-bit Ubuntu, the above causes a panic:

ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)

(GHC version 6.12.1 for i386-unknown-linux):

genDerivBinds: bad derived class

deepseq-1.1.0.0:Control.DeepSeq.NFData{tc rou}

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