Good work Günther! Joe Fredette wrote:

Yes, how did you do it? Did it involve very large literals? GHC is known to have some limitations with that. For example, on my machine, a String literal that is larger than about 1 Gb will cause GHC to overflow the RTS stack. And a list literal with only a few thousand elements can cause GHC to suck up all memory and bring my computer to its knees. Examples: choke1 = "\ \0123456789abcdef\ \0123456789abcdef\ . . . \" choke2 = [ 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7, 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7, . . . 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7, 99] Regards, Yitz
