We went over this some time back; the GHC runtime is wrong here, it should only disable flags when running with geteuid() == 0. Also, the current mechanism for specifying runtime flags at compile time is horridly ugly and this really needs to be fixed before any such runtime limitation is viable. I hope that will be fixed in a later point release. - -- brandon s. allbery [linux,solaris,freebsd,perl] allb...@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allb...@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkz6i6gACgkQIn7hlCsL25VajgCeKqReTXt0JlQ90iTPtvU6VRXy 1PkAoJC83Glcy3jurrxH7eoiNGFZdazJ =Zi+B -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
