Comment (by awson):

 Can't reproduce this neither with ghc-8.0.1.20160826+llvm-3.7, nor with
 ghc-8.1.20160921+llvm-4.0(HEAD). I have no segfaults in both cases (tried
 to increase numLOOPS to 100000 and 200000 -- no segfaults either).

 Perhaps, that was a bug in GHC which was fixed since 8.0.1 release?
