I should clarify that this was done on an older kernel (bootstrapped
from ghc 6.4 as Jeff Heard suggested), in case that makes any difference:
Main memory size: 7971 Mbytes
1 GenuineIntel Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.40GHz processor
Swap Size: 2047 Mbytes
Num Processors: 1
Processor Type: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.40GHz x64
Clock Speed: 3400 MHZ
OS: Linux 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL.spi
OS-VERSION: CentOS release 4.4 (Final)
OS-HW: x86_64

Hi
I think the issue you're running in to with 6.4 is this one:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/830 - known and fixed a
while back.
Thanks

I assume for the return line, you meant to return a list, not a tuple. ghc
doesn't support a 600-tuple.
In any case, returning a list, I have verified that this problem exists in
ghc 6.10.3, for -O0 and -O2.
For -O0, it compiles and links fine, but gives this runtime message:
z: internal error: scavenge: unimplemented/strange closure type -1 @
0x2a95a8e000

Maybe it is attempting to unroll these loops, even with -O0?

Today a student has shown me a program that consists of a large 'do' block
for the list monad. The program looks like
do x1 <- [0..3]
x2 <- [0..2]
...
x600 <- [0..5]
guard (x1+x2+2*x3 >= 0)
...
return (x1,x2,....,x600)
It was actually generated by another program. The results were:
GHC-6.4 was not able to compile that program at all, because it stopped
because of memory exhaustion.
GHC-6.8.2 finished compilation after two minutes but the program aborted
quickly because of a corrupt thunk identifier.
GHC-6.10 not yet tested.
Hugs-2006 executed the program without complaining and showed the first
result after a few seconds: (0,0,0,0,0,...,0).
Eventually the program must run on a Linux cluster with a not up-to-date
Linux kernel, that is, I suspect newer GHC versions cannot be used due to
the 'timer_create' problem. (At least, the 'cabal' executable that I
generated with a GHC-6.8.2 had this problem when running on the cluster
which reminded me on the problems with GHC-6.8 itself running on older Linux
kernels.)
Since the list monad sorts the variable values in lexicographic order
which is inappropriate for the considered problem, I recommended the use of
control-monad-omega. Luke, I hope this monad can cope with 600 variables.
