64-bit and 32-bit binaries compiled with '-static' gets 'SIGKILL'ed (after many 'SIGVTALRM's and lots of memory consumption)

Initial Report & Discussion

Quoting the person who reported the problem: some background: my public-server is some old machine that is apparently unable to even run the static binary (it took me a long time to realize that this was the case, it started and then just died after a while with the message "killed!" i tried building from source, but ghc is to old (6.8.2). to work around that i set up an ssh-tunnel from public-server to my local-client and run "PortFusion ] 2000 [" here.
