Hi folks,

I've run into more issues with my report generation tool .... I'd really appreciate some help.

I've created a repro project on github to demonstrate the problem.
git://github.com/ckkashyap/haskell-perf-repro.git

There is a template xml file that needs to be replicated several times (3000 or so) under the data directory and then "driver" needs to be run. The memory used by driver keeps growing until it runs out of memory.

Also, I'd appreciate some tips on how to go about debugging this situation. I am on the windows platform.


Regards,
Kashyap

To place this in perspective, one only needs to descend one or two
more layers before the semantics starts confusing even experts.

Whereas the difference between seq and evaluate shouldn't be too hard
to grasp, that between evaluate and (return $!) is considerably more
subtle, as Edward Yang notified us 10 days ago. See the thread titled
To seq or not to seq.
