Comment (by darchon):

 I want to point out that this bug will affect very _few_ users of GHC, at
 least initially. The reason: `haddock` will normally be build using
 dynamic-linking in the normal build/distribution process of GHC; and the
 dynamically-linked version shows no problems.

 Only if a user reinstalls `haddock`, e.g. doing a `cabal install haddock
 --reinstall`, will he encounter the described bug. That is because static-
 linking is (currently) the default for all executables built using
 `cabal`.
