Summary: rts_getBool: not a Bool

Initial Comment:
On ghc 5.04.1 on redhat 7.x I have a C program which
calls Haskell thorugh the FFI. It compiles and runs
correctly. However on ghc 5.04.3 with Mandrake 9.0 (ie
gcc 3.2) the same program fails with

main: fatal error: rts_getBool: not a Bool

All my functions return Bool to signify failure or success.
If I replace them by Int, then the program works again
on Mandrake.

To contact me, sengan `dot` baring-gould `at` ia
`period` nsc `full-stop` com

Can you provide us with some code that reproduces the problem?

Are you running the program in GHCi, or plan GHC?
