There are known issues with segfaults on OS X under ghc 6.4. 6.4.1 should be released tomorrow, so this should be checked again after the new portfile is uploaded.

If it still happens with the new compiler let me know but also file a bug report on the ghc bugs list.

I'll take a look at this, bug it should probably be reported to the ghc bugs list.

Works for me on 6.4.1. If I don't hear otherwise I will close this bug in a few days.

I don't see this bug in 6.4.1 and as no one has spoken up, I am closing it.
