New description:

 Compiling jsaddle-dom (the JSDOM.Types module in particular) requires
 quite a lot of memory on 8.2.2 already, but with 8.4.3 I am no longer able
 to compile it at all with 8 GB of RAM. At first I thought it could be
 related to

 https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/15304

 but passing "-fno-worker-wrapper" does not seem to make much of a
 difference, therefore it might me a different cause here.

 Reproduce:

 git clone git at github.com:ghcjs/jsaddle-dom.git

 cd jsaddle-dom

 sed -i 's/? "default"/? "ghc843"/1' shell.nix

 nix-shell

 cabal new-build
