After a little more investigation I found that the file in question contains the UTF8 encoding of Unicode characters with code points > 255. My suspicion is that the c2hs lexer for .chs files goes into an infinite loop in this case since it assumes that all characters are 0..255: anySet = ['\0'..'\255'] The fix will either be to rewrite the chs lexer or to read the file in ASCII rather than the default locale encoding.
