This looks rather like the kind of random crash we were experiencing
for a while, due to a fault in the primitive implementation of putStr.

Download the `putStr' patch from the website, or direct from
    ftp://ftp.cs.york.ac.uk/pub/haskell/nhc98/patch-1.06-putStr
and apply it.  Then just re-issue the command `make', and all should
be well.  (If not, then let us know.)
