Ha, got it!
`evtWrite` is defined as
[snip] Yeah, a simple `main = print evtWrite` will show the issue. I just had a long dog walk, thanks for reducing this! Yesterday I checked the diffs in the generated Cmm and the '''only''' change was that the `evtWrite_closure+1` gets passed (instead of `evtWrite_closure`). So your analysis sounds reasonable. The callee thinks it got the dereferenced `Int`, but actually it is a tagged pointer. This is somehow related to the fact that the `newtype` is defined in another module. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14677#comment:16 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
