ANNOUNCE: GHC 7.4.1 Release Candidate 2

[Karel Gardas]

Hello,

7.4.1 RC2 shows the same issue like recent HEAD on ARM/Linux platform: a 
lot of (I don't know if not all) threaded1 testcases fail with:

Stdout:

Stderr:
GEq1: internal error: ASSERTION FAILED: file rts/Schedule.c, line 506

     (GHC version 7.4.0.20120126 for arm_unknown_linux)
     Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
Aborted

As I said, this is recent breakage. AFAIK 7.4.1RC1 was OK from this 
point of view and also HEAD at least in October/November 2011 (here I'm 
not 100% sure about Nov) was also OK.

Simon M already asked me for providing him more information about this 
issue with some guidance what to do. I will do this shortly.

Thanks,
Karel
