[jhc] some jhc weirdness

[sylvain]

Hi,

after having adapted "binaries-tree" from
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32q/benchmark.php?test=binarytrees&lang=ghc&box=1
to remove the dependency on Text.Printf (program below), I get the
following results.

1. reference run.

$ghc --make -O2 -fglasgow-exts -fasm prog.hs -o prog.ghc
$./prog.ghc 1
"stretch tree" of depth 7 check: -1
"128 trees" of depth 4 check: -128
"32 trees" of depth 6 check: -32
"long lived tree" of depth 6 check: -1

2. jhc run.

$jhc -o prog
 of depth 77 check: -1
 of depth 44 check: -128
 of depth 66 check: -32
 of depth 66 check: -1

$ ./prog.jhc 18
 of depth 1919 check: -1
segmentation fault

Maybe is it time to set up a bug tracker :)
