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

I don't know if it is of any use to you but here is windows' problem signature:

I had following ghc extensions enabled: ExistentialQuantification, ScopedTypeVariables, NamedFieldPuns, DeriveDataTypeable, ParallelListComp. Re-runing the same expression didn't cause repetition of error. Program was supposed to be browsing over directories of local disk.

My OS is Windows 7 x64 SP1.

If you need other information I will try to help.
