Control-C during startup raises error: msg#00015

Subject: Control-C during startup raises error

Dunno if you actually consider this a bug or not, but since the message says to report it... This is on Mac OS X 10.3.5 with GHC 6.2.1.

$ ghci
^Cghc-6.2.1: internal error: main thread has been GC'd
Please report this as a bug to glasgow-haskell-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxx,
or http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/ghc/

In other words, if you press control-C during startup you get this error message. Not unreasonable, but I suppose if it is easy to check for such an interrupt it is better not to issue an error message which advises the user to post a bug report.

ghci works fine for me otherwise, although ghc itself produces bad executables on OS X. (I have not yet tried the 6.2.1. installation advice for OS X which appeared on the other list.)

Regards,
Frank
