Yes. Indeed this workaround using tcsh appears to help. I haven't tested it  
very extensively, yet, but the main symptoms are gone.

I still suspect that it is some kind of race condition with timers/signals.  
Maybe the startup of /bin/sh is very fast on FreeBSD. Cannot tell for sure  
what's going on.

I also compiled with "-rtsopts -with-rtsopts -v0" (I checked ps output  
during compilation if it really uses the flags). It did not improve  
anything and did not make truss faster (still listing setitimer, alarms  
etc). I am getting just about the same output as above.

Btw, FreeBSD upgraded to GHC 7.8.3 a few days ago and the problem persists.  
Tim's workaround still helps here.
