I have a simple code fragment that works in previous
versions of ghc and other Haskell systems (like Hugs),
but which will cause the compiler to dump core in
interactive mode (the compiled executable also dumps
core).
If I define a simple factorial:
myFact :: Integer -> Integer
myFact 0 = 1
myFact n = n * myFact (n - 1)
it will run correctly for very small n, but not for
larger n's (but < 30 on my platform). I'm using the
pre-compiled binary linux package, on a RedHat 7.0
system.
I though it was a stack or heap overflow, but I've
increased the heap with RTS options, and it still
crashes.
