runghc dies silently when given large numbers of arguments. Compiled code does not.
I'm using ghc 7.6.2 on Ubuntu 13.04. To reproduce, put the following line in /tmp/test.hs
main = error "An Error message"
Then run the following commands at the shell:
gds@lithium:/tmp$ runghc ./test.hs seq 1 100000
gds@lithium:/tmp$ ghc -o test test.hs
gds@lithium:/tmp$ ./test seq 1 100000
test: An Error message
gds@lithium:/tmp$
