OSX 64bit: ghci: loadObj internal error

When I run ghci, it crashes with the following error message:

GHCi, version 6.12.3: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
ghc: internal error: loadObj: failed to mmap() memory below 2Gb; asked for 724992 bytes at 0x40000000.  Try specifying an address with +RTS -xm<addr> -RTS
    (GHC version 6.12.3 for x86_64_apple_darwin)
    Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
