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

Leaving GHCi.

With Test.hs being:

{-# LANGUAGE TemplateHaskell #-}
{-# OPTIONS_GHC -fno-omit-interface-pragmas #-}

main :: IO ()
main = return ()

I want to make TemplateHaskell generated non-essential info visible even with -O0. Compilation works, everything is fine. But I can't load source code like this with GHCi, which is annoying.

Setting priority to high, since this is a crash.
