Comment (by nad):

 I managed to make the test case a bit smaller:
 {{{

 $ cat Main.hs
 import System.Exit

 main = exitSuccess
 $ ghc --make -prof Main.hs
 [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( Main.hs, Main.o )
 Linking Main ...
 $ ./Main +RTS -hb
 Main: internal error: Invalid object in processHeapClosureForDead(): 7
     (GHC version 8.2.1 for i386_unknown_linux)
     Please report this as a GHC bug:

 Aborted (core dumped)
