I have been mindlessly recompiling 6.5 over and over and I _did_ see a problem with the test runner which I reported. Simon Marlow mentioned it could be a problem with threading. Are there tickets for the threading issues? Description of the problem? Possible ways to reproduce it? On Jul 25, 2006, at 11:50 AM, Simon Peyton-Jones wrote:

GHC 6.4.2's threaded runtime system does not work right on Solaris MacOSX Possibly FreeBSD
We'd love to fix these bugs and release 6.4.3, but we are stalled because we don't have easy access to these platforms, nor do we have detailed expertise in their intimate details (which is where the bugs will be lurking).
If you care about these platforms, would you like to lend a hand? We probably need more help than simply "here's access to the platform", but we'd give you very strong support if you were willing to look into it.
