GHC Runs Out of Memory

[D.J.Steinitz]

I generated SVG10.hs using DtdToHaskell (part of the HaXml toolset) from the SVG (scalable vector graphics) DTD.
I had to modify Xml2Haskell.hs as it wouldn't compile with the one that comes with the HaXml distribution
(DtdToHaskell generates Haskell types based on the definitions in the DTD and some of these were not
available in Xml2Haskell.hs).

I then applied ghc but it ran out of memory. Here's the tail of dmesg:

Out of Memory: Killed process 1699 (ghc-5.02.2).
Out of Memory: Killed process 2077 (ghc-5.02.2).
Out of Memory: Killed process 2340 (ghc-5.02.2).

I can send SVG10.hs and the modified Xml2Haskell.hs or I can send the HaXml tarball with SVG10.hs and the
modified Xml2Haskell.hs inside it.

Dominic.

And here is the output from ghc before it died.
