The bug described in Ticket #650, AFAICS, prevents implementation of a reasonable, generic hash table in Haskell. :-(
You can certainly implement it, it just requires that you increase the heap size to a bit bigger than your hash to reduce the pressure on the GC.
But note, Simon's making progress, http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/650#comment:17

Nice! Even if it is only an improvement in the constant factor, and not a genuine fix for the problem, it sounds like a big improvement. Sincerely, Brad
