[ghci clarification]
There, it crashes for me even on the 2nd invocation:

connect(13, {sin_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(80), sin_addr=inet_addr("137.226.194.33")}}, 16) = -1 EINPROGRESS (Operation now in progress)
gettimeofday({1006436761, 219035}, NULL) = 0
select(14, [], [13], NULL, {134, 217727}) = 1 (out [13], left {134, 220000})
getsockopt(13, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ERROR, [1835091456], [1]) = 0
write(1, "*", 1)                        = 1

whereas on the first, succeeding call to 'connect' it says;

select(14, [], [13], NULL, {134, 217727}) = 1 (out [13], left {134, 210000})
getsockopt(13, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ERROR, [0], [1]) = 0

This looks like some on-the-fly bitrotting in ghci :-/
