Comment:

 So I installed GHC 7.6.3 (which is missing from the version field below,
 btw) and XCode 4.2 (the newest thing available for OSX 10.6.8), and I'm
 observing the same intermittent crash. 64-bit version.

 So either 7.6 needs an even newer XCode than 7.4 (why?) and the website
 needs another update, or the issue is not with an old XCode; instead it's
 with 10.6 in general. Which would be a real pity.
