</span>Hmm, interesting. I've not seen crashes like this locally nor in CI. It<br>
would be great if you could try to get some insight. Is this crash<br>
perfectly reproducible?<br>
<br>
It may be worth adding -dcore-lint to GhcStage2HcOpts to ensure the code<br>
we are producing is sane.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
