I seem to be having trouble with 'foreign import ccall "wrapper"' 
functions. It was crashing in combination with the Java VM: examination 
with gdb revealed that the function created with 'foreign import ccall 
"wrapper"' was changing register r13, and it looks like the JVM code that 
called it was expecting r13 to be preserved.

This appears to be a bug in GHC for Mac OS X.
