Comment (by nh2):

 Uh, some things are still puzzling me here. If I run with `+RTS -I0.3`,
 the infinite loop does not occur on FreeBSD, even though 0.3 is supposed
 to be the default, so I'm not sure why giving no `+RTS` and `+RTS -I0.3`
 have different behaviour.

 Also, passing `+RTS -I0` does not enforce the bug, surprises me.

 Note all these observations are for the non`-threaded` runtime.
