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:
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.
