Is this an instance of the known bug listed as the third bullet here?
I think it is. The ticks-exhausted thing at least means that GHC stops, rather than going into an infinite loop. It's a shortcoming I don't yet know how to fix, but fortunately it only seems to come up in artificial situations. So far! -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14638#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
