Programs compiled with GHC master segfault when run with +RTS -h

$ ghc +RTS -h
ghc: no input files
Usage: For basic information, try the `--help' option.
Segmentation fault

This appears to be due to ce1f1607,

    Make GHCi & TH work when the compiler is built with -prof

Which removes an initProfiling2 call from hs_init_ghc, which means that initHeapProfiling is never called, which means that censuses is never initialized, which causes a crash during cleanup on RTS shutdown.
