Comment:

 I believe this commit should have fixed it, but I haven't tested it yet:

 commit 0b0a41f96cbdaf52aac171c9c58459e3187b0f46
 {{{
 Author: Simon Marlow <marlowsd at gmail.com>

     Teach the linear register allocator how to allocate more stack if
 necessary

     This squashes the "out of spill slots" panic that occasionally happens
     on x86, by adding instructions to bump and retreat the C stack pointer
     as necessary.  The panic has become more common since the new codegen,
     because we lump code into larger blocks, and the register allocator
     isn't very good at reusing stack slots for spilling (see Note [extra
     spill slots]).
