Hi Hal. 5.04 profiled executables (-prof -auto-all) on Windows just crash on takeoff with or without a dot in their name (ie even without a .exe extension). This is substantially different to the behaviour of HEAD a few days before release of 5.04, which only crashed when fed heap profiling arguments.

if you compile a program -p -auto-all with ghc and the name you give the exectuable contains iether a "." or a "-" (and possibly other things) it will core dump when executed (at least on sparc solaris), or so it seems, under 5.04.

has anyone else had this problem?
