You did not mention whether the machine running your OS X was a PowerPC or an "Intel" machine. On non-x86 platforms, a bus error is usually caused by misaligned memory accesses. Unlike the x86 which silently and expensively fixes any misaligned accesses, sane processors kick and scream, resulting in a bus error. Such things tend to happen quite often when development of a software mainly takes place on x86 family chips, and are revealed when some poor soul on an UltraSparcIII tries to run them. -- Lars Viklund | z...@acc.umu.se _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
