Comment (by simonmar):

 Simon - just to allay any confusion, this is a patchset that Edward is
 working on that isn't currently in GHC, so the bug that he found is not a
 GHC issue.

 Edward: we must have to solve this same problem for the initialisation
 sections that create !StablePtrs for foreign exports, and register cost
 centres for profiling.  I don't remember exactly what we do there, but we
 probably ought to do it the same way.
