bug report

Hi Alex

Yes I remember talking to you.  It'd be interesting to see your web
crawler when you are done.

Meanwhile, you've definitely hit a bug.  Can you make a reproducible
test case so we can look into it?

Simon

| Hello,
| 
| My name is Alex Warth. I've been working on a multi-threaded web
| crawler that uses STM, and I just got a strange error message while
| running my program:
| 
| a.out: internal error: scavenge_stack: weird activation record found
on stack: 6
|     Please report this as a bug to glasgow-haskell-bugs at haskell.org,
|     or http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/ghc/
| 
| I'm not sure whether or not it makes a difference, but I got the error
| message above directly after the following error message:
| 
| a.out: getHostByName: does not exist (no such host entry)
| 
| I've been able to determine that this is not a sporadic error. In
| fact, this happens every time I get a "getHostByName: does not exist
| (no such host entry)" error message. I can make this happen whenever I
| want.
| 
| Please let me know if there's any other information you would like me
| to send you. Maybe the source code would be helpful?
| 
| Thanks,
| Alex Warth
