Comment (by jscholl):

 I tried the fix with ghc-7.10.3 and the segfault vanished. If I compare
 the core it is almost identical, the only difference is that the fixed
 version generates a {{{Left}}} and a {{{Right}}} branch in Main.main3
 while without the fix the {{{Left}}} branch is missing. So I think the
 segfault is really just another instance of the bug in the simplifier.
