Comment:

 Thanks for the report. I can't reproduce this, but I only have a single
 core. I assume the results are random, not repeatable?

 I think the problem is that `GetProcessTimes` gives incompatible results
 if executed on different cores, but I can't easily find anything to
 confirm that, or to suggest what we should be using instead.

 By the way, if you copy and paste exactly what you have typed then it
 makes it less likely that human error comes into it (`:set -02` gives an
 error as you've typed "zero", not "oh", so I assume that's not what you
 actually typed into ghci).
