GHCi crashes under Windows Millenium
GHCi fails to launch for me under Windows Millenium. The command:
ghc -v --interactive
produces the following:
___ ___ _

at which point GHCi fails with the generic error message (roughly translated from French):
Ghc provoked an error in GHC.EXE. The program Ghc will now be stopped.
If you continue to encounter problems, try to restart your computer.
Restarting the computer, obviously, didn't help.
I am using GHC 6.6 under Windows Millenium, which was set up using the standalone Windows installer. I can use the compiler from the command line without any problems, but whenever I try to launch GHCi from the Start menu or using "ghc --interactive", I get the above error message. Please note that GHCi v6.4.2 works flawlessly on the same machine (a rather old Pentium III 650 MHz with a modest 128 Mo of RAM, if such things matter).
