---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 Built GHC from HEAD, and cabal install (built with a previous GHC) hangs
 eating CPU and producing no output after "Resolving dependencies...",
 apparently for any package.

 e.g.

 cabal install -v rmonad --global --root-cmd=sudo

 Global package.conf file attached. dcoutts suspects that the base3/base4
 thing might be the cause.

 ganesh at defoe:~$ cabal --version
 cabal-install version 0.5.2
 using version 1.4.0.2 of the Cabal library
