------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 This weekend I installed Apple's Security Update 2008-005 (PPC). This
 morning I discovered that ghc, ghci and runhaskell are not working. (I am
 certain that ghc and runhaskell were working in the last two weeks.) For
 instance, when compiling the simple file randil.hs (attached) I see:
 {{{
 ghc-6.8.2: internal error: stg_ap_pv_ret
     (GHC version 6.8.2 for powerpc_apple_darwin)
     Please report this as a GHC bug:
 http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
 Abort trap
 }}}

 Running that via ./randil.hs yields
 {{{
 runhaskell: waitForProcess: interrupted (Interrupted system call)
 }}}
 and a crash log (attached). On the other hand, a simple hello world
 program (attached) does compile and execute as expected.
