hi,

my very first tries with ghc, using the 'program'

module Fact where
fact :: Integer -> Integer
fact n = product [1..n]


gave the following compiler crash under MacOS X 10.4.7 (ghc installed from source via DarwinPorts):

Compiling Fact             ( fact.hs, interpreted )
ghc-6.4.2: internal error: scavenge_stack: weird activation record found on stack: 463
    Please report this as a compiler bug.  See:
    http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug


more irritating, this error was _not_ reproducible. a second try did run through:

`ghc -c fact.hs' yielded a file `fact.o'

but `ghc -o fact fact.o' yielded:

/usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols:
_ZCMain_main_closure
___stginit_ZCMain
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


and `ghc -v --make fact' yielded

what I got where two files `fact.o' and `fact.hi' (attached).

hope this helps in one way or the other


all the best
