for "a soon-ish 7.8.3 release for things which

already have a working good/low-risk fix in ghc-7.8, so the next HP can

go with 7.8.3 instead of using the known-to-be-suboptimal 7.8.2"

Also, I don't have a reproducible case but I am getting occasional errors with 7.8.2 on Apple Mavericks that kill ghci where the error is:

ld: illegal text-relocation to '_ghczmprim_GHCziTypes_ZMZN_closure' in /usr/local/lib/ghc-7.8.2/ghc-prim-0.3.1.0/libHSghc-prim-0.3.1.0-ghc7.8.2.dylib from '_cbea_info' in /Users/gcolpitts/algo1/ps3-exp.o for architecture x86_64

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

phase `Linker' failed (exitcode = 1)

I'm wondering if anybody else has seen this or has any thoughts on this. It's not a show stopper for me as it is relatively rare and I just restart ghci. I'm using ghci inside emacs (Aquamacs 2.5)

Thanks

George

Personally, I'd vote for a soon-ish 7.8.3 release for things which
already have a working good/low-risk fix in ghc-7.8, so the next HP can
go with 7.8.3 instead of using the known-to-be-suboptimal 7.8.2

Just my 2 cents
