 That is perfect for testing!

 In the build tree, after a "devel2" build (see mk/build.mk.sample) you
 should run the command:

 {{{
 inplace/lib/ghc-stage2  -B`pwd`/inplace/lib --interactive
 }}}

 Without the patch attached to this bug, this should segfault. I'm very
 curious to see what happens with my patch applied.
