[Haskell-cafe] 64-bit vs 32-bit haskell platform on Mac: misleading notice on Platform website?

[Carter Schonwald]

do these problems also happen if your'e using the glut backend? (because if
its only glfw that has problems, then its something wrong in the ffi code,
but if its both, that suggests there may be some sort of systematic
problem?)

@Lyndon, that sounds like a bug... especially since scotty seems to have no
C code in package... have you filed a bug report with the maintainers thats
reproducible?
