Comment(by simonmar):

 The error "strange closure type" indicates some kind of memory corruption,
 which can have many different causes, from bugs in the GC to hardware
 failures.

 It's unlikely that the occurrence on Win XP is related to original report
 in this ticket, which I suspect is something specific to GHC's powerpc
 support (there are a few other similar reports of problems on powerpc).
