Comment(by simonpj):

 Would you like to update the patch in the light of Edward's suggestion,
 check that it works, and re-submit?

 Also if either or both of you (or someone else) would like to improve
 [http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Performance], notably the "space leak"
 sub-page (deserves a top level heading of its own), that would be great.
 Specifically, the lore of #5129 belongs there, not buried in a closed
 ticket.

 I'm sure there are other articles about looking for space leaks that could
 usefully be linked to from that space leak page, like
 [http://neilmitchell.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/chasing-space-leak-in-
 shake.html Neil Mitchell's recent blog post].

 Thanks!

 Simon
