Comment (by thoughtpolice):

 Ah yes, I missed this behavior too. Sorry about that. I managed to trigger
 this by artificially limiting the heap and stack chunk size to be almost
 identical (or even `chunk_size` > heap size,) so early on an allocation
 for it would fail.

 I've reverted the relevant changes for the time being in `base` and `ghc`.
