I'm trying to use the built-in ghc heap profiling and running into a large roadblock: the names of producers are truncated, often into uselessness, and there doesn't seem to be an option to control this. Am I missing something in the docs?

The limit of 25 characters before the "..." is built-in, I'm afraid. How ever, the cost centre ID is included (the number in parentheses before the cost centre stack), and you can match this to the full CCS by adding the -P option: $ ./prog +RTS -hc -P also produces a time profile in prog.prof that includes the ID of each cost centre stack.
