Comment (by simonmar):

 GHCi does require 'data execution' privileges, because it generates code
 on the fly.  However, it may be possible to work around this (we have
 worked around it to some extent for SELinux).  Note that this isn't just
 GHCi, but also any compiled Haskell program that uses {{{foreign import
 "wrapper"}}}.

 Workaround, for now, is to not turn on DEP.  Using exceptions isn't really
 practical, because you would need to add an exception for every GHC-
 compiled program.
