After a bit of rather tedious and frustrating debugging I came to the<br>
realisation that the code for the `-hb` profiling option is not thread<br>
safe. See <a href="https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12019" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12019</a><br>
<br>
This gives us an opportunity to simply remove it instead of fixing it.<br>
If there is anyone that thinks this future is really useful (ie more<br>
useful than the other profiling modes) then I'm willing to fix it.<br>
But if noone would miss it. I'd much rather remove it.<br>
