Comment (by erikd):

 Running with the debug RTS and `-Ds` I get:

 {{{
 cap 0: finished GC
 task exiting
 cap 0: running thread 1 (ThreadRunGHC)
 cap 0: thread 1 stopped (yielding)
 cap 0: running thread 1 (ThreadRunGHC)
 cap 0: thread 1 stopped (heap overflow)
 load-test: internal error: allocation of 1034912 bytes too large (GHC
 should have complained at compile-time)
     (GHC version 7.10.3 for x86_64_unknown_linux)
     Please report this as a GHC bug:

 }}}

 To me, "heap overflow" sounds bad.
