------------------------------+-------------------------------
 When you press and hold Ctrl-c, after a few seconds, sometimes > 60 sec,
 GHCi crash and we can read a message on the screen (of the console) who
 says:
 {{{
 ghc.exe : failed to create OS thread
 }}}
 On the task manager we can read:

 {{{
 ghc memory : 36920K
 }}}
 initially, then the memory grows about
 {{{
 ghc memory : 43480K
 }}}
 and stay until the crash. I repeated it several times. With Linux if you
 repeat this, GHCi do not crash. Idem with only the Windows console. Hope
 this help!
