Summary: runhaskell causes GHC to segfault on OS X

Initial Comment:
Attempting to use runhaskell to build a caballized
package on OS X
causes ghc to segfault.

The user sees:

crossroads-able> cd harp 
crossroads-able> runhaskell Setup.hs configure
Warning: No license-file field.
Configuring harp-0.2...
configure: searching for ghc in path.
configure: found ghc at /opt/local/bin/ghc
runhaskell: waitForProcess: interrupted (Interrupted
system call)

(this is from the build of harp, part of the
haskell-src-exts pacakge,
but the same behavior was observed every time I tried
to use
runhaskell, including trying to caballize a build on a
small app
that I wrote. The application built successfully under
cabal on
FreeBSD-5.4 x86 with ghc-6.4.)

Attached are a crash log (ghccrash.log) and a ktrace
log (ktrace.log).
Superficially, it looks like a bad ioctl might trigger
the crash.

I'd apprecaite any hints on where to poke around in the
source
to track this down.

Thanks.

Yes, 6.4.1 fixes the problem.

A good thing too, as I have a lot of darwinports packages
that use
caballized installations waiting for updates.

Best Wishes,
Greg

I think this was a problem related to the new dynamic library support, 
which will be fixed in 6.4.1 (and ghc 6.4 should work without problems for 
hand-compiled versions without dynamic libraries).
A workaround would be to use ghc --make to compile the setup script.
