I just woke up, came downstairs, and kicked off a GHC build. If anyone has
a Linux 64-bit binary ready and can send me the link, I'll be able to test

Someone has also reported a second bug, which may or may not be fixed by
the proposed 7.8.2[1]. Hopefully I'll have more information in the next few
