I'm getting this error in my software every now and then:
postmaster: internal error: scavenge_stack: weird activation record found on stack: 9 Please report this as a bug to glasgow-haskell-bugs@haskell.org, or http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/ghc/
The process runs just fine for several days, and then it crashes with this message out of the sudden. There is no apparent cause. I'm using a fairly recent CVS ghc to compile the program on Linux/x86.
Any idea what I can do to help tracking this bug down?
Please compile the program with -debug, then open it with gdb. Set a breakpoint on barf() and run the program: gdb> break barf gdb> run and wait for it to hit the breakpoint. Then do gdb> signal SIGABRT to get a core dump. Send the source, binary, and core dump to us. With any luck, we'll be able to track it down without running the program. Cheers, Simon
