Hi Ian,

young and old. The above one + ones using the older (git & darcs versions)

Right, when building the repo contents. Any .hsc that's in the tree 
elicits a hard crash (i.e.,
dialog box pops up reporting the failure of any *_hsc_make.exe ) This is 
when building with
6.10.1, but that's not the real cause here.

If I don't take the evasive action (as outlined in the original e-mail), 
the resulting stage1/stage2
ghc installs will fail also (provided I've manually guided the build 
process past these crashes
to reach completion first, of course.)
