RE: No GHC support for a week

I'm still having trouble reproducing this heapCensus crash. <plea> If *anyone* has a program which generates this heapCensus failure, regardless of whether it's reliably repeatable or not, please send me the code. I'd love to get this one nailed before 5.04.2. </plea> Cheers, Simon

Ketil,

Simon and I have been tracking down this bug for some time now. A few days ago I was finally able to come up with a often repeatable, relatively short example (enough qualifiers? :P). Last I talked to him, Simon was getting it running in gdb, but because of how the moon was aligned yesterday (or something), it was refusing to fall over.

If you have a short program which demonstrates the same problem, I'm sure Simon would love to get a copy...

GHC support will be intermittent at best for the next week or so, as Simon & I are both heading out to Pittsburgh for ICFP and the Haskell workshop. Catch you all later...

And here I recently started using GHC 5.04 from the provided RH7.2 packages, and getting occasional "heapCensus" errors. Relatively rare, difficult to reproduce, rerunning on the same data usually works.

(I was going to forward another question about a heap usage problem I had, but it turned out it was just a question of applying a bit more strictness in the right place. :-)
