Kernel panic when building HEAD on OS X 10.6.4

Hi, My computer dies a horrible death (i.e. kernel panic) whenever I build GHC from HEAD (currently using the "quickest" build configuration). Anyone had the same problem in the past? Any workarounds? Johan ___ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgo
