That doesn't seem the issue because I would always delete xmonad-new
directory and recreate it using

$ darcs get xmonad --to-patch=patchname xmonad-new

in order to find out which patch broke it. Just in case I just did:

$ darcs get http://code.haskell.org/xmonad --to-patch="Core.hs: add an
Applicative" xmonad-new

and compiled it. Sure enough, xmonad segfaulted on startup.
