GHC and GSL

[Edward Z. Yang]

Usually, a bus error is similar to a segmentation fault, in that it
indicates something has gone terribly wrong.  However, as hmatrix
is an API to some foreign C libraries, I would not rule out the possibility
that it's a bug in the library itself.

What version of hmatrix do you have, and if you compile the program
with -debug and run it in gdb, do you get a backtrace?
