RE: ghc-6.4.20050220: panic! eval_data2tag...

Thanks very much for boiling it down.  The data2tag primop is a dark
corner, I'm afraid.   

Now fixed, and a test added (cg056)

| Hi,
| 
| I managed to distill my program into to the following small example
that
| still exhibits the problem:
| 
|     module Bug where
|     data S e = A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I deriving (Eq)
|     newtype R = T (S R) deriving (Eq)
| 
| The output from 'ghc -c -O Bug.hs' is:
| 
| ghc-6.4.20050220: panic! (the `impossible' happened, GHC version
| 6.4.20050220):
|         eval_data2tag
|     GHCziPrim.dataToTagzh{(w) v 95f}
|       @ (Bug.S{tc r14v} <recnt>Bug.R{tc r14r})
|       (__coerce (Bug.S{tc r14v} <recnt>Bug.R{tc r14r}) a{v s1Cm})
| 
| Please report it as a compiler bug to
glasgow-haskell-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxx,
| or http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghc/.
