Your ghc is fundamentally broken - hGetContents, a very commonly used base library function, can't survive the runtime's own timer signals. Obviously this doesn't happen for other users, maybe even on OpenSolaris? I'm sure someone has a clue how this could happen.

That fixed the signal problem!

Ah, it's getting EAGAIN from fds created from prior pipe() calls. The other sides look like they were DUP2'd to fds 0&1, I'm guessing for a fork/exec().

Much easier (but not guaranteed to help) you might be able to see the actual error, at the system call level, if you can trace system calls.
