fish: Job 1, “./fail” terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

(note, 'fish' is the shell I use... http://fishshell.org/)

Also fails without -O, with -fasm, and with -fvia-c

The GHC I'm using was built by scsibug, available at http://scsibug.com/

on #haskell, everyone else reports that this code works correctly for them (different architectures)
