Can you try this and send us the output:
$ cat /proc/<pid>/maps
where <pid> is the PID of your shell (find it with ps).
The problem is that GHC is asking for memory at a particular address
(0x50000000) and the kernel is returning memory elsewhere that doesn't
satisfy our aligment constraints (1M aligned). We don't particularly
care where we get memory from, but it must be properly aligned.
Cheers,
Simon
