Summary: Runtime exception on Windows, possibly due to bit operations

Initial Comment:
>From david.amos at symbian.com

The attached code works fine when interpreted. 
However, when compiled, it causes a runtime exception. 
This appears to affect the windows distribution only.

Fixed by rev. 1.192 of ghc/rts/Linker.c (merged to STABLE 
as 1.171.2.12).

ghc-6.4.1 will have the fix included. Until it is out, compile all 
code destined for GHCi with -fvia-C (win32 platform only.)

A fine bug report; seems to be triggered by using the native 
code generator.

Until the issue has been resolved (and a new release is out), 
work around it by compiling the module with -fvia-C added to 
your ghc command line.
