Comment:

 Thanks for the report, I had this in my mental list of integer overflows
 to fix but hadn't created a ticket. Specifically, `stg_newArrayzh` (and
 all the other `new*Array` primops) need bounds-checking.

 Also see #229, but I regard that ticket as about integer overflows in the
 `array` package.
