 Here I'm reading a very large matrix from a file and turning it into a
 template Haskell expression. Probably not the most efficient thing to
 do, but the error message could be clearer...
 {{{
 *Main> let y = $(qFast (\f -> runIO $ readMatrixFile "data.txt"
 (runQ.f)));
 ghc-6.4.2: panic! (the `impossible' happened, GHC version 6.4.2):
         linkBCO: >= 64k insns in BCO

 }}}
 Indeed, the error message is unhelpful.
