 When running tasty-hunit tests through `cabal repl`, I get the following
 error:


 {{{
 ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
   (GHC version 7.8.3 for x86_64-apple-darwin):

 Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
 }}}

 I have a hunch that it's because I enabled the following flags in my
 .cabal file, since I didn't get the exception before adding them:

 {{{
 Test-Suite test-horse
     ...
     GHC-Options:      -fhpc -hpcdir dist/hpc/horse-control-1.0
 }}}

 When I run the tests via `cabal test`, I don't get the exception.

 I've created a branch that showcases the crash: https://github.com/bgwines
 /horse-control/tree/ghc-panic

 Repro steps:
 * clone repo
 * cd to repo
 * run `cabal repl`
 * run `:l Tests/test-horse.hs`
 * run `main`

 Reproducability: 100%

 Please feel free to contact me if there's information lacking, here! :)
