Re: Validate has died

I've created an MR to hopefully resolve this issue (https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/merge_requests/400). If you are eager to make use of this, and/or confirm that it solves the issue, you can e.g. cherry pick the commit: $ git remote add DavidEichmann https://gitlab.haskell.org/DavidEichmann/ghc.git $ git fetch DavidEichmann $ git cherry-pick davide/TestRunnerCrash-NonGitRepo David E On 2/19/19 9:32 AM, Simon Peyton Jones wrote:
