Comment:

 Thanks a lot for this report. This seems to be caused by the patch merge
 error for which a patch was applied on 2007-Jan-28. See
 http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/glasgow-haskell-users/2007-
 January/011920.html. I can find the patch applied to a recently pulled ghc
 HEAD:

 {{{
 Sun Jan 28 22:32:16 CET 2007  Ian Lynagh <igloo at earth.li>
   * Fix GHCi on PowerPC OS X
   David Kirkman and Peter Tanski noticed that a line had been removed
 during
   a patch merge which meant that oc->image pointed to the wrong place and
   ultimately caused an error from realloc.
 }}}

 So I am closing this bug report. Please feel free to reopen if you cannot
 make this problem go away.
