[Haskell-cafe] Diagnose stack space overflow

[Chris Smith]

You can use the heap profiling options in GHC to find out what is using all
the memory.  You'll want to compile with -prof and -rtsopts, and then invoke
the program with +RTS -h<x>, where <x> is one of 'c', 'y', or a few others.
Then run hp2ps on the resulting .hp file to get a graph of what's using all
the memory.
