 Hi,

 I freshly installed OpenBSD 5.6 on an AMD64 system. I also installed ghc
 and cabal-install from the OpenBSD package system. The version in OpenBSD
 5.6 package tree is:

 $ ghc --version
 The Glorious Glasgow Haskell Compilation System, version 7.6.3

 $ cabal --version
 cabal-install version 1.16.0.2
 using version 1.16.0 of the Cabal library

 Now, I do a `cabal update' and `cabal install cabal-install'.

 I get this error:
 ghc: out of memory, requested 1048576 bytes

 I am not sure if it is a cabal-install bug or a ghc bug or an OpenBSD bug.
 So, if you think it is not a ghc bug, please go ahead and close this bug
 (and accept my apologies..), I will open it against cabal-install or
 openbsd instead.
