Would "retainer profiling" help me see what was building up this large thunk/closure?
I'm not really familiar enough with GHC's profiling to answer that, but I'll take a guess.
You're experimental programs have given me an idea - I can use them to test if the profiling tools can show me where a stack overflow might be occurring. Thanks for the clear explanation of the difference. I also found the wiki page http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Stack_overflow to be helpful. Justin
