[Haskell-cafe] Threadscope 0.2.2 goes in segmentation fault on Mac Os X 10.8.3

[Edsko de Vries]

a) 7.6.2 vs 7.6.1 seems unlike to be the issue, although theoretically
possible I guess.
b) Actually, the blog post is how to set things up by hand for better
control than either of those tools give you; but again, I don't think it's
relevant.
c) This might be a bigger difference. I don't know what version brew
installs, where it installs it, etc. etc.
d) And this might be related too; yes, I'm using XQuartz and have the GTK
compiled for it; currently using 2.7.4 but I don't know if I upgraded since
building.
