Subject: space leak in compiler?

Dear GHC developers,

I have tested ghc-6.2.1
(installed from (maybe) RPM on RedHat Linux (maybe) 8)

on my DoCon-2.08 application. It works, mainly.

But it seems to have a space leak in the compiler.

make space=-M30m docon
(involving ghc --make ... +RTS -M30m -RTS)

leads to "segmentation fault"
after compling several modules.
Repeating this command several times allows to build the program.

I need to release an official docon-2.08 within a couple of days.
And am going write in Installation guide

" Command make space=... docon

If it reports "segmentation fault", repeat the command,
until it compliles everything
(this is, probably, due to a bug in GHC, not vital for the work
with DoCon and which will be fixed in future GHC versions).
"

With kind regards,
