ghc-5.02 has a known bug on Win32 only, which causes all
programs compiled with it to die silently when the heap size
reaches 128 megabytes. This is fixed in the upcoming 5.02.1.
You did not say what version ghc you are using or give any
other details. If you tell us more we might be able to help
more.

Sorry that I was not more specific in my previous mail. Yes, it is
the known bug of heaps larger than 128m on Windows. Simon M.
helped me to figure that out yesterday evening.
Thanks to both of you
Sven Eric
