hPutBuf crashes when trying to write a large string to stdout (resource exhausted)
The following program crashes when I try to write a byte string larger than 61kb to stdout: ```hs import qualified Data.ByteString.Char8 as BS main = BS.putStrLn $ BS.replicate (62 * 1024) 'x' ``` When I run the above, I get the following runtime error: ``` <stdout>: hPutBuf: resource exhausted (Not enough space) ``` GHC versions tested: 7.6.3 and 7.8.3 (both 32 and 64 bit) OS: Windows 7 and Windows Server 20008R2 The issue is not reproducible with the Linux version of GHC. It is also not reproducible if I use the Lazy variant of the byte strings. Note: The Linux version of the program was tested with GHC 7.6.3 because this is the one I have on my Ubuntu machine. <details><summary>Trac metadata</summary> | Trac field | Value | | ---------------------- | -------------- | | Version | 7.8.3 | | Type | Bug | | TypeOfFailure | OtherFailure | | Priority | normal | | Resolution | Unresolved | | Component | libraries/base | | Test case | | | Differential revisions | | | BlockedBy | | | Related | | | Blocking | | | CC | ekmett, hvr | | Operating system | | | Architecture | | </details> <!-- {"blocked_by":[],"summary":"hPutBuf crashes when trying to write a large string to stdout (resource exhausted)","status":"New","operating_system":"","component":"libraries/base","related":[],"milestone":"","resolution":"Unresolved","owner":{"tag":"Unowned"},"version":"7.8.3","keywords":[],"differentials":[],"test_case":"","architecture":"","cc":["ekmett","hvr"],"type":"Bug","description":"The following program crashes when I try to write a byte string larger than 61kb to stdout: \r\n\r\n{{{#!hs\r\nimport qualified Data.ByteString.Char8 as BS\r\n\r\nmain = BS.putStrLn $ BS.replicate (62 * 1024) 'x'\r\n}}}\r\n\r\nWhen I run the above, I get the following runtime error: \r\n{{{\r\n<stdout>: hPutBuf: resource exhausted (Not enough space)\r\n}}}\r\n\r\nGHC versions tested: 7.6.3 and 7.8.3 (both 32 and 64 bit)\r\nOS: Windows 7 and Windows Server 20008R2\r\n\r\nThe issue is not reproducible with the Linux version of GHC.
