 I'm using ghc 7.6.2 on Ubuntu 13.04. To reproduce, put the following line
 in /tmp/test.hs

 main = error "An Error message"

 Then run the following commands at the shell:

 gds@lithium:/tmp$ runghc ./test.hs `seq 1 100000`
 gds@lithium:/tmp$ ghc -o test test.hs
 gds@lithium:/tmp$ ./test `seq 1 100000`
 test: An Error message
 gds@lithium:/tmp$
