sorry  for the long delay,but for some reason the email did not reach
me - i think because i used up all the disk quota in my university
account - and i noticed this today while digging the todo list.

at the moment i have ghc6 installed as
ghc6 6.12.3-1
and  it still segfaults
uovobw@flatline:~$ ghci
GHCi, version 6.12.3: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done.
Loading package base ... linking ... done.
Segmentation fault
uovobw@flatline:~$ 
as before.

i then compiled the aforementioned source with a standard 

make

and after boiling my cpu i obtained the binaries, installed them and
executed, they segfault anyway.

i am quite lost here...
any other places to look into?
