 Any program would work as a reproducer, but here's what I'm using
 currently:

 {{{
 {-# LANGUAGE StaticPointers #-}

 module Main where

 import Control.Concurrent
 import System.Mem

 nats :: [Int]
 nats = [0 .. ]

 main = do
   let z = nats !! 400
   print z
   performGC
   threadDelay 1000000
   print (nats !! 900)
 }}}

 If I do `printStack` every time the GC copies a stack I sometimes see
 stack frames like

 {{{
 RET_SMALL (0x535568)
 }}}

 but in gdb or objdump output I can't find a symbol at that address, even
 when the program is built with `-g3`. When I print the location as
 `StgInfoTable*` I can see that it's a valid info table so `0x535578`
 should be labelled as `foo_info`.

 In the objdump output I see that the location is shown as this:

 {{{
   535563:       0f 1f 44 00 00          nopl   0x0(%rax,%rax,1)
         ...
   535570:       1e                      (bad)
   535571:       00 00                   add    %al,(%rax)
   535573:       00 00                   add    %al,(%rax)
   535575:       00 00                   add    %al,(%rax)
   535577:       00 bb e9 e2 85 00       add    %bh,0x85e2e9(%rbx)
   53557d:       48 83 c5 08             add    $0x8,%rbp
 }}}
