There is a bug in ghci 6.10.1 that seems to be fixed in 6.10.3 (not sure whether it's fixed in 6.10.3). Certain non-terminating expressions causes ghci to crash immediately and go back to the prompt:

Compiling a module with a non-terminating expression first with ghc and then loading it in ghci does not seem to result in a crash.
That certainly sounds very much like the behaviour I'm seeing, except... it happens whether or not the code is compiled. If I run GHCi with nothing compiled, it crashes. If I compile all the modules and run GHCi, it crashes. If I make a stand-alone executable and run it, it crashes. Anyway, I shall try 6.10.3 and see what happens. PS. Is there a ticket for this? I mean, it seems to be fixed, but we should probably still record it somehow?
