BTW. Simon, you wrote the code for that patch when I was in Cambridge :-) Do you remember how we (well, mostly you) updated [http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Commentary/Compiler/StackAreas this wiki page] and how we were confused with addressing offsets into an `Old` area?
I am afraid that wiki page was not updated when I rewrote the stack layout algorithm, and it's woefully out of date. In particular there are no `RegSlots` any more. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8275#comment:30 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
