I think the real source of your problem is that GHCi will load a
compiled .o file if it's up to date wrt.  the source files. When you
load modules, watch the messages printed by GHCi. "Skipping" means
loading the .o file, "Compiling" means that the module will be compiled
and interpreted by GHCi.

Anyway, it's strange that you are experiencing crashes.  IIRC, there
were problems if you mixed modules compiled with different levels of
optimisation in the same program, but I am not sure it still happens.
