Summary: stack overflow when loading a big 

Initial Comment:
when loading a file with a very big list, ghci and ghc
give a stack overflow error (also when stack is
increase to 10M with the +RTS -K<size> option and stack
size is set to unlimited using ulimit -s unlimited in
linux). ghci also shows the error when loading the
file. it would be at least better to report that the
list is too big.
