An error message from nhc, note the -1466809254:

The program ran out of heap memory.  (Current heapsize is 40000000 bytes.)
You can set a bigger size with e.g. +RTS -H4M -RTS (4M = four megabytes).GC stats:
    Only 83 words after gc, need 90 words.
  Used  1541499472 words of heap.  Moved -1466809254 words of heap in 2217 gcs.
  83 words to next gc.  Max live after gc: 9715784 words.


Thanks
