GHC leaks memory when compiling many files
Sorry for the rather imprecise bug report; also, I'm not sure if this is related to #3294 (closed) or #1334 (closed).
cabal install highlighting-kate-0.2.5.1 --enable-library-profiling --reinstall
On my machine, this takes a lot of memory: when passing 1.7G, I have to kill it. However, compilation of single modules from that package takes much fewer memory.
