New issue 390 by muellerto: xmobar crashes after some minutes of work
http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=390

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Difficult to explain. In my case xmobar disappears completely from the
screen and the process ends surely after some minutes of work. After I
started X11 with Xmonad and xmobar I can change the focus between
applications, I can switch virtual screens, several times, everything looks
great. But after not more than five minutes xmobar dies completely. I can't
tell a more concrete reason for this.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I see only the remaining xmobar output as long as the screen isn't painted
again. After I switch to another virtual screen I see only the configured
black gap on top of the screen.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
xmobar 0.9.2, xmonad 0.9, Arch Linux x86_64

Are you using an xmonad.hs?  Please attach it and the output of "xmonad
--recompile".
The relevant lines in my xmonad.hs are:

main = do
          handle <- spawnPipe "xmobar"
          xmonad defaultConfig
           {

This has been working very well for more than a year or so. I didn't change
anything on xmonad.hs nor on .xmobarrc.

Please provide any additional information below.
The problem came with the last update of ghc (6.12) provided by the Arch
Build System. I recompiled Xmonad manually and this runs very well. Now I
also recompiled xmobar but that didn't solve the problems.
