#13359: GHCi crash in a standard Windows console (cmd.exe) after Control-c ------------------------------+------------------------------- Reporter: vanto | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 8.0.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Windows Architecture: x86 | Type of failure: GHCi crash Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: ------------------------------+------------------------------- When you press and hold Ctrl-c, after a few seconds, sometimes > 60 sec, GHCi crash and we can read a message on the screen (of the console) who says: {{{ ghc.exe : failed to create OS thread }}} On the task manager we can read: {{{ ghc memory : 36920K }}} initially, then the memory grows about {{{ ghc memory : 43480K }}} and stay until the crash. I repeated it several times. With Linux if you repeat this, GHCi do not crash. Idem with only the Windows console. Hope this help! -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13359 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
