Comment (by mathiassm):

 Hello! Yes, I just learned about indentation problems one can run into
 writing Haskell. My intention was to have those three as a single
 definition for f, which I now accomplish with a multiline using the let
 syntax, as you stated. So that part was just my Haskell inexperience (plus
 the incorrect definition of factorial, my bad!).

 Now, I supposed the exception could be caused by only defining f n, but as
 I'm testing that, it doesn't happen; it understandably throws a stack
 overflow exception. It still hangs on the call to f 0 and throws the MVar
 error (whatever that is). It doesn't seem to happen elsewhere, if I follow
 the correct indentation rules (and now I :set +m for convenience)... I'm
 sorry but I can't find another way to reproduce this, but following those
 simple statements /: I suppose it's my installation (maybe Homebrew failed
 compiling it, or downloading the binaries...)

 Thank you for your time (and sorry!)

 PD. The "instructions" I followed was the "Please report this bug"
 message.
