ghci keeps the value of your last computation in a special variable
called "it". Therefore, the value of your last run can't be garbage
collected until the current run is finished. Try "print run" or type
in a dummy expression in between runs.

Hello,
Why would ghci run out of heap space (and crash) the second time I run a
computation?
More specifically, I have a ghci session which goes something like this:
*Analysis>run
[ ... print out of a very long list ...]
*Analysis>run
[ ... partial print out
GHC's heap exhausted: current limit is 268435456 bytes;
Use the `-M<size>' option to increase the total heap size.
Shouldn't the garbage collector free up everything in between my top-level
function executions?
Also, there doesn't appear to be a '-M<size>' flag for ghc (I'm using 6.4.2
on windows xp).
thanks,
Jeff
