Comment(by simonmar):

 {{{
 RTS -s output:     (     cnv, ovf, dud, gcd, fiz     )
 RTS event:         (crt, dud, ovf, cnv, gcd, fiz, rem)
 ghc-events parser: (crt, dud, ovf, cnv, fiz, gcd, rem)
 }}}

 So we could:

  * change both the RTS event and the ghc-events parser to make the fields
 line up with the RTS -s output, or
  * change just the RTS event to make it match the parser
  * change just ghc-events to make it match the event

 I'd go with the last one personally, since you can make the change
 independently of GHC.
