Comment(by joeyadams):
I was able to simplify Simon's standalone testcase quite a bit, and still
get it to segfault (test-reduced.hs). The segfault occurs if you build
without optimization (`-O0`), and occurs on both Windows and Linux 32-bit.
It does not occur on Linux 64-bit.
However, there's another symptom: `-ddump-cmm` produces a much larger file
(roughly 5 MB instead of 250 KB) with GHC HEAD than with 7.4.2 or 7.6.1.
The size of the `-ddump-cmm` output scales with the number of fields in
`data DynFlags` (about 35 KB per field). This symptom occurs on both
32-bit and 64-bit.
Speculation: there's a bug in how record update is compiled. This bug is
not platform- or architecture-specific, though it manifests itself on x86
32-bit by clobbering the call stack.
