Re: ghc needs memory

Yes, it appears to have been a corrupted 'hi' file. cleaning everything out and starting from scratch fixed it. I was seeing it on both compilers because my two systems are synchronized via unison so the bad file got bounced back and forth. I have not tried using 7.2 yet, the separation of haskell98 and base is a huge pain for a lot of my projects, I have not decided on an appropriate workaround yet so I still target 7.0 and 6.12 (the releases that came with the last two versions of ubuntu by no coincidence) John
