 The following piece of code gets miscompiled if no optimisation is used.
 The program crashes instead of printing `[0]`, which would be the correct
 behaviour. GHC 7.3.20111127 has been used for triggering this bug.

 {{{
 test = seq (seq id (\a -> undefined a))

 main = do
   print $ test [0]
 }}}
