With Yhc, there is also a quite useful wiki at
http://www.haskell.org/hawiki/Yhc. In particular the runtime system is
documented reasonably thorougly in
http://www.haskell.org/hawiki/Yhc/RTS . There are also C, Python and
Java implementations of the runtime system, which might help you
figure out how it works.

Thanks
