Thanks for the responses.

I am using GHC 7.4.1 an Ubuntu. 

Shutting down and restarting ghci is my current workaround. I was hoping for something a bit less disruptive. :kickoffGC or something like that.

My experience is that ghci (typically run as an inferior Emacs process)
often retains a lot of memory.  Thus, I occasionally kill and
restart it. (Not sure if that counts as a workaround :-)
