Stack overflow when compiling with optimizations

This program:

import Control.Exception (evaluate)

main :: IO ()
main = do
  let smap = concat . replicate 300 $ concat [" ", replicate 2027 '#', " \n"]
  evaluate $ fst (stringReader 1 smap)

stringReader :: Int -> String -> ((), String)
stringReader 1 ('\r':'\n':_) = ((), "")
stringReader _ ('\n':cs) = stringReader 1 cs -- unix
stringReader x (_:cs) = stringReader x cs
stringReader _ _ = ((), "")

Causes a stack overflow when compiled with -O2, and no problem when compiled without optimizations.
