 Actually this is 3 bugs

 ghci often segfaults on startup... rerunning usually gets to the Prelude>
 prompt.

 I just got this one today:
 {{{

     Please report this as a GHC bug:

 3rd problem is that it has crashed my *SYSTEM* twice... forcing a power-
 cycle.  Have reported it to Apple as they requests.  This is Snowleopard
