Ah, that's too bad.  That means that I won't be able to invoke GHC
outside of the Terminal application by default, and that even if I
create a Darwin shell script and alias to invoke it from Aqua, the
icon for that shell script will only be generic by default.  I'd
rather click on an application icon in the Dock.

Sure, barring job-related time constraints, I'd be happy to volunteer.
My Mac just went out of service because of a hardware problem with the
memory, so I'm order new replacement RAM this weekend.  As soon as
that arrives and I install it, the problem should be resolved.

What should I do?
