The documentation claims that the default heap size is unlimited:
 http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/users_guide/runtime-
 control.html

 At least on windows, the default seems to be 256megs.  I think this is
 just a typo in the documentation, although unlimited heap by default could
 be nice in some cases.
