I regret that I don't have a simpler failure case, but I'm just going to post this and please advise me. I don't see how to get debugging symbols to work to even look at a core dump.
Usually I get a segfault, but sometimes I get this:
_rsagl_modelview: internal error: evacuate: strange closure type 2053 (GHC version 6.10.1 for i386_unknown_linux) Please report this as a GHC bug: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug Aborted
This program uses ffi, but in this checkin I've disabled RSAGL's ffi except the GLUT+OpenGL bindings. So it's OpenGL or ghc.
The key to getting this error is the -G flag. -G4 or -G3 segfaults.
Steps to replicate:
git clone http://www.downstairspeople.org/git/rsagl.git cd rsagl/ git checkout possible_rts_bug_g4 cabal configure && cabal build ./dist/build/_rsagl_modelview/_rsagl_modelview +RTS -G4 -RTS <-- just sit and wait, it should display an animation briefly and then segfault.
Could you check whether this still happens with 6.10.2, and if so, please report it via http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/ReportABug. Cheers, Simon
