I fixed this by providing higher stack size while building 
xmonad.
""
cabal install --haddock-executables --ghc-option=+RTS --ghc-option=-K16m --ghc-option=-RTS
""

The default max stack size is 8M and if anything goes higher than 
that, a stack overflow exception is raised. (http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/7.4.1/html/users_guide/runtime-control.html )

I wonder why this overflow happens when I restart it but not 
during normal start, is it because during restart double or more 
than double the stack size is required for a short while?
