Comment (by simonmar):

 Regardless of what's going on in `ghc-datasize` and `ghc-heap-view`, if
 the GHC-compiled program emits this message then it's a bug in GHC,
 because we're supposed to fail at compile-time instead. (the number in the
 error message is a compile-time constant, not a runtime value)
