ghc.exe: panic! (the `impossible' happened, GHC version 6.3): urk

[Lemmih]

Greetings,

I encountered the same problem and tracked it to 
ghc/compiler/simplCore/Simplify.lhs, line 1504: 
... coreRefineTys tvs' (error "urk") ...
and
ghc/compiler/types/Unify.lhs, line 209:
... coreRefineTys ex_tvs subst@(TvSubst in_scope orig_env) ...
which performs a strict pattern match on its second argument.
