Comment (by ghorn):

 sorry for the spam, I found a smaller example:
 {{{
 {-# OPTIONS_GHC -Wall #-}

 module Main ( main ) where

 import Foreign.Ptr ( Ptr )
 import Foreign.Marshal ( malloc )

 main :: IO ()
 main = do
   _ <- malloc :: IO (Ptr Int)
   _ <- malloc :: IO (Ptr Int)
   _ <- malloc :: IO (Ptr Int)
   _ <- malloc :: IO (Ptr Int)
   _ <- malloc :: IO (Ptr Int)
   _ <- malloc :: IO (Ptr Int)
   _ <- malloc :: IO (Ptr Int)
   _ <- malloc :: IO (Ptr Int)
   _ <- malloc :: IO (Ptr Int)
   return ()
 }}}
