GHCi Segfault

GHCi segfaults right before the prompt is supposed to appear. Not interactive parts of GHC seem to be working fine (ghc and runghc)

syfran@ninjaTux ~ $ ghci
GHCi, version 6.10.4: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help

$ ghci Main.hs

[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( Main.hs, interpreted )
Ok, modules loaded: Main.
Segmentation fault

where Main.hs contains

main = print "Hello World"

I currently have 6.10.4 installed but it also occurs in 6.12. 6.8 does not seem to have this problem

Possibly related, darcs will also segfault when it comes to a part that needs to prompt.

Could this be a problem in a common library that they share?
