    Type:  bug      |         Status:  new   
Priority:  normal   |      Component:  GHCi  
 Version:  6.10.1   |       Severity:  normal
Keywords:           |       Testcase:        
      Os:  Windows  |   Architecture:  x86   
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 If use ghci.exe and separating compiling via ghc.exe, memory leak in ghci
 occurred.  After exhausting available memory Vista has no any respond.

 Steps for reproduce:
 1)      Run GHCi: process list has 2 processes: ghci.exe (a), ghc.exe (b),
 2)      Run separated compilation process 20 times:
 Command Line:
 for /L %i in (1,1,20) do ghc -fforce-recomp -O --make "problem.hs" -o
 "problem.exe"
 Sample Haskell Program listing (problem.hs):
 main :: IO ()
 main = do
     print $ [x | x <- [1..]]
     putStrLn "Hello, world!"

 3)      In process list (taskmgr.exe) you can see processor activity and
 increased value of "Memory (Private Working Set)" for process (b).
 4)      As run result "Memory (Private Working Set)" increased about
 100Mb.
