internal error: threadStackUnderflow: not enough space for return values

With (the type-incorrect) Foo.hs:

module Foo where

import Data.Char
import System.Directory

main :: IO ()
main = do return ()
          return ()
          return ()
          return ()
          return ()
          return ()
          return ()
          return ()
          return ()
          let xs :: [(Int, Bool, Char, Char, Char)]
              xs = undefined
          mapM_ f xs
          return ()
          return ()

f :: (Int, Char, Char, Char) -> IO ()
f _ = return ()

f1 :: IO ()
f1 = return ()

f2 :: IO ()
f2 = return ()

f3 :: IO ()
f3 = return ()

f4 :: IO ()
f4 = return ()

I get:
