Comment (by hvr):
btw, note that `(^)` for `Integer` is implemented via square-and-multiply,
c.f. [http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.6.0.1/docs/src/GHC-
Real.html#%5E implementation in base].
So it might be interesting if one could find out which one of the several
`Integer`-primop calls involved causes the actual fault.
