Summary: RTS Exhausted max heap size

Initial Comment:
I've lost the exact error message. But basically, the 
message said to report the error to this project. The 
message said that the RTS system went over the 
maximum heap size of roughly 268000000 bytes. 

The machine I'm running on is running windows 2000 and 
has 1GB of memory. The version of GHC is 6.0.1. The 
code was run with the following compiler switches: 
ghc -O -fvia-c prob.hs -o prob.

I've attached the file prob.hs.

Thanks for a fine report. The heap overflow wasn't reported 
as gracefully as it could be. Fixed now.

You can change the default max heap size to be greater than 
256M via the -M RTS option. You do seem to have a space 
leak on your hands, though.
