type checking does not terminate for ghc-6.8.0.20070916

I'm using the binary dist from

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/dist/stable/dist/ghc-6.8.0.20070916-i386-unknown-linux.tar.bz2

and compilation of the file Static/AnalysisStructured.hs does not terminate. (It works for ghc-6.6.1.)

I've not been able to create a smaller example.

Call ghc --make -fglasgow-exts Main.hs after unpacking the archive I will attach. Apologies, if the archive contains more files then needed. My output ends with:

...
[44 of 49] Compiling Syntax.AS_Architecture ( Syntax/AS_Architecture.hs, Syntax/AS_Architecture.o )
[45 of 49] Compiling Syntax.AS_Library ( Syntax/AS_Library.hs, Syntax/AS_Library.o )
[46 of 49] Compiling Static.GTheory   ( Static/GTheory.hs, Static/GTheory.o )
[47 of 49] Compiling Static.DevGraph  ( Static/DevGraph.hs, Static/DevGraph.o )
[48 of 49] Compiling Static.AnalysisStructured ( Static/AnalysisStructured.hs, Static/AnalysisStructured.o )

never reaching Main.
