Summary: rts_getBool: not a Bool

Initial Comment:
On ghc 5.04.1 on redhat 7.x I have a C program which
calls Haskell thorugh the FFI. It compiles and runs
correctly. However on ghc 5.04.3 with Mandrake 9.0 (ie
gcc 3.2) the same program fails with

main: fatal error: rts_getBool: not a Bool

All my functions return Bool to signify failure or success.
If I replace them by Int, then the program works again
on Mandrake.

To contact me, sengan `dot` baring-gould `at` ia
`period` nsc `full-stop` com

I've fixed one possible cause of this bug, so I'm closing it
for now.  

The original submitter says he has worked around it for now,
but will possibly get back to it and provide a test case in
the future, in which case we can re-open the bug.

Can you provide us with some code that reproduces the problem?

Are you running the program in GHCi, or plan GHC?
