Initial Comment:
I´m new in this, and probably this is known... or maybe 
irrelevant:
What I´ve done: (in Prelude)

let x = error "help!"
print x
id x
print it

I did not understand why x isn´t printed (id x works...), 
but the serious ghc.exe panic! message after trying 
to 'print it' told me to report this ^_^
I just went through the manual and tried some lines out 
of it...

system: Win XP
version: 5.04.1 GHCi

The bug has been fixed; 5.04.2 will have the fix.  

To make "print x" work, you need to give x a type signature.  
eg.

  let x = error "help!" :: Int
