I think you should file a bug report with a test case
on GHC.
I am willing to work on this, but I thought I'd go fishing for some
advice first. My program uses: forkIO, STM, and FFI.
I've seen something like this, using only forkIO, so I'd start looking
there. I was trying to create a reduced test case, but haven't
reported a bug yet.
I think that "heap exhausted" sometimes gets reported
as "evacuate: strange closure",
(cf. http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/5085 )
and yieldCapability() might be another instance.
Thank you, we just had this message, and I had no idea what it was.
Please report all crashes like this as bugs:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/ReportABug
In particular, the RTS should never trigger a crash in a heap exhausted
situation - if some documentation somewhere gives the wrong impression
about that, please let me know.
I will need a reproducible test case to track down the bug, though.
Cheers,
Simon
