I think this means that GHC crashed. waitForProcess throws the
"interrupted" exception whenever the sub-process it is waiting for
receives a signal, such as a SIGSEGV. This is the wrong behaviour, I'll
look into fixing it.
The next step is to find out why GHC is crashing - you could try running
GHC on its own, independently of Cabal (use "runghc Setup.lhs -v" to get
the command line).
