I don't understand why Haskell users believe (perhaps are too often
led to believe) that haskell programs can't crash. Gtk2hs does a lot
of native stuff. Gtk's been around for a long time, but so has a lot
of other software that has lots of bugs still present in it. Often
these bugs lead to memory corruption and crashes. Haskell does
nothing to prevent this from happening (how could it?).
I entirely expect that this crash is due to Gtk2hs (well-tested though
it may be) or one of its underlying dependencies (such as libpng).
Nope. Actually it was me being dumb with unchecked array access. Nothing
wrong with GHC, GTK+ or even Gtk2hs.
