 > > I think the ghc bug here is that GHCi panics when it cannot find a
 shared library and for errors returned by the link editor and also for
 some errors returned by `dlopen`. The correct behavior would be to print
 an error message and terminate normally in such situation as it is not
 ghc's fault that a file is not found etc. I shall create a separate ticket
 for that.

 Wait a minute! In this ticket GHC did not panic but perhaps the error
 message could be more informative and tell the user why it wanted to load
 `libz.so` at all.
