Report it as a GHC bug to the GHC team, here:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/newticket?type=bug
if you believe it is a bug.
Cheers,
Don

> I have a program that seems to run into occasional garbage
> collection-related core dumps. The problem typically only occurs after the
> program has been running for a while and is consuming a large amount of
> memory (5 - 16GB). The large memory consumption is expected because the
> program analyzes very large traces from verilog simulation and needs to
> maintain IntMaps with hundreds of thousands of entries.

> This was obtained using ghc 6.10.1, RTS -N2 on an RHEL 4 machine.
