I patched it myself, it was very easy. I expect that the version on Hal's web page should work since he said he fixed the bug.
The only thing that I don't like is that the dist isn't compiled with readline. It makes working in ghci a nightmare (I need to use backspace often...). The problem around this is in my opinion to make a Haskell98 compliant trimmed down readline library which doesn't depend on the c library. It shouldn't be too difficult. I don't expect that people are using the full power of readline anyway.
