 OS: Arch
 Kernel version: 4.16.13-2-ARCH
 Xmobar version: 0.26
 ghc version: 8.4.3

 Xmobar crashes after some time (1 sec or 1 day - very different each
 time).
 And, as I see, reasons are different to:

 1:
 {{{
 voronwe at sul ~> xmobar
 Fields missing from config defaulted:
 additionalFonts,wmClass,wmName,border,borderColor,textOffset,iconOffset,iconRoot,alpha
 xmobar: internal error: evacuate: strange closure type 4689
     (GHC version 8.4.3 for x86_64_unknown_linux)
     Please report this as a GHC bug:
 http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
 fish: 'xmobar' terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)
 }}}

 2:
 {{{

 additionalFonts,wmClass,wmName,border,borderColor,textOffset,iconOffset,iconRoot,alpha
