Would you run 'uname -a' and 'ghc --version'?

I don't see that behaviour here

% uname -a
Linux bryma 2.6.35-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 30 21:22:26 CEST 2010
x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9450 @ 2.66GHz GenuineIntel
GNU/Linux
% ghc --version
The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 6.12.3

% rm /tmp/dld.fifo && ./pipe&
[1] 30762
% pipe: /tmp/dld.fifo: hGetLine: end of file

[1]  + exit 1     ./pipe


/M
