Hello GHC,

i'm pretty sure that it's a bug in array library, because it first
constructs array of 2^31*4 = 0 bytes (modulo 2^32), and then tries to
use unsafe indexing operations on it. moreover, 6.4 should suffice
form the same problem

... well, i wrote about problem for unboxed arrays (i should test
it), while you reported bug in boxed arrays what is a really problem
in GHC's newArray# implementation
