That's a little bit harsh. :-) First of all it's not hp2ps, but GHC's RTS which has a buglet. Furthermore, it only has this problem in some locales. As a workaround you could try to switch your locale e.g. to English while running your Haskell program.

I've fixed this about a month ago in the HEAD, but it did not make its way into the STABLE branch. SimonM?

I rather think the bug is that we're using printf() to create the profiling output, which is supposed to be in a fixed format. There's nothing stopping the Haskell program from calling setlocale() and screwing us up again. Anyway, I'll merge the workaround through for the time being. Cheers, Simon
