Comment (by RyanGlScott):

 The fact that this uses a lot of memory is entirely unsurprising, as
 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23746852/why-does-haskells-do-nothing-
 function-id-consume-tons-of-memory documents. I'm surprised that it
 segfaults, however. How much memory does your system have?
