6.8.0.20070917 ghc.exe: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)

[guest]

(From Adrian Hey) Here's the error:

[29 of 53] Compiling Data.Tree.AVL.Join ( Data.Tree.AVL/Data/Tree/AVL/Join.hs, dist\build/Data/Tree/AVL/Join.o )
ghc.exe: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)

Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

This will probably reproduce it, but it's not quite what I did:

1 - darcs get  http://darcs.haskell.org/packages/collections-ghc6.6/

2 - Edit collections.cabal so you have:

build-depends: base >= 2.0, QuickCheck, bytestring, containers, array

3 - runghc Setup.hs configure

4 - runghc Setup.hs build

Great report, thanks. Fixed.
