crash after writing around 40 gigabytes to stdout

After writing about 40GiB to stdout program crashes with one of these errors:

<stdout>: commitBuffer: invalid argument (Invalid argument)
<stdout>: hPutBuf: invalid argument (Invalid argument)

depending on which print function is used (Data.ByteString.Lazy.putStr or IO.putStrLn)

Occurs with 7.0.3, 7.0.2, win7 64bit, winxp 32bit

Compiled with one of these ghc calls:

ghc -rtsopts -threaded --make rec.hs -O2 -o rec.exe
ghc --make rec.hs -O2 -o rec.exe
ghc --make rec.hs -o rec.exe

Failed for both, with and without runtime settings:

rec +RTS -N2 -RTS > rec.txt
rec > rec.txt
