reading this makes me think the reason why I got such an unhelpful result with the +RTS -xc might be that I was doing that on the older haskell platform, using GHC 7.0... I may try it now on the latest haskell platform, with GHC 7.4 but who knows, maybe I need GHC 7.6 to get these stack traces reliably, using that -xc trick.
Looking at the ticket 'http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3693', I don't now if even the current GHC version (7.6.1) is enough to get stack traces. Also the release notes of 7.6.1 don't contain anything about stack traces. I think that stack traces are such a huge thing, that an early 7.6.2 just adding these would be great. Greetings, Daniel
