-O flag produces faulty code

The -O flag generates incorrect code in both 6.8.2 and 6.9.

I tested it myself on 6.8.2 - The -O flag causes the program to enter a 100% CPU endless loop

Heffalump also tested it on 6.9 - The -O flag causes it to segfault

Attached is a tgz file containing the code (and the input).

ghc --make -o obk Main.hs ; obk -> works

ghc --make -o obk -O Main.hs ; obk -> fails
