ghc segfaults when compiling bytestring001

With the bytestring001 test in the testsuite:

$ ls bytestring001.*
bytestring001.hs  bytestring001.stdout
% /home/ian/ghc/darcs/full/ghc/stage2-inplace/ghc -fforce-recomp -o bytestring001 bytestring001.hs -O -fasm -package bytestring -package QuickCheck
/home/ian/ghc/darcs/full/ghc/stage2-inplace/ghc: line 2: 22336 Segmentation fault      /home/ian/ghc/darcs/full/ghc/stage2-inplace/libexec/ghc -B/home/ian/ghc/darcs/full/inplace-datadir/. -dynload wrapped ${1+"$@"}

That's with the threaded RTS. threaded-debug also segfaults. debug-only gets an Illegal instruction. "+RTS -DS" doesn't spot any problems.

Running the debug-only GHC in gdb, I get a segfault in stg_sel_ret_0_upd_info.

Doing so again with "+RTS -DS" I got:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

0x7fffadd7abb8: 0xaaaaaaaaaaaaaa9a
0x7fffadd7abb0: 0x7fffadd7ac00

so it looks like some unaligned writing has gone on at some point.

The above is all amd64/Linux.
