 the attached program began to show compiler failures (though not always
 reproducible), and coredumps (again, not always reproducible) once HXT was
 replaced with Text.XML.Light.

 i have taken care to install (and reinstall) packages with cabal-install
 although many of the packages i use were originally installed with
 traditional Setup.hs installation and registry.

 i'm really not sure what the issue is.

 my environment is ghc-6.8.2 on freebsd7/i386. my ghc was installed from
 freebsd ports. i use cabal-install to manage other packages. this program
 is the only one i have had issues with. i am attaching the program in its
 entirety.
