GADT + impredicative polymorphism => stack overflow

The following makes the GHC 6.6 type checker loop/overflow:

{-# OPTIONS_GHC -fglasgow-exts #-}
data Foo a b where F :: a -> Foo () a

bar :: Foo () (forall a.a) -> ()
bar (F _) = ()

ghc yields stack overflow, as does ghci. Reloading in GHCi leads to an infinite loop.
