Here is a harmless little program (no recursion, no data types) which GHC doesn't manage to compile (well, the kernel kills GHC after a while on a machine with generous 512MB of main memory and 1GB of swap space).
> begin next = next id > leaf k i next = next (k i) > fork k next = next (\ t u -> k (t + u)) > end x = x > main = print (begin fork fork fork fork fork fork fork fork fork fork leaf 0 leaf 0 > leaf 0 leaf 0 leaf 0 leaf 0 leaf 0 leaf 0 leaf 0 leaf 0 leaf 0 end) Both Hugs and nhc98 accept it almost immediately.
