In ghci, loadObj fails after :cd for compiled module

[sanders_n]

I am using ghc 6.10.1 from MacPorts?, upgraded recently from 6.8.?.

To cause the bug, enter: mkdir bug && pushd bug && echo 'module Bug where number = 12' >Bug.hs && ghc -c Bug.hs && popd && ghci

Inside ghci, do

:cd bug
:l Bug
number

This produces:

GHCi, version 6.10.1: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/  :? for help
Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done.
Loading package integer ... linking ... done.
Loading package base ... linking ... done.
Prelude> :cd bug
Prelude> :l Bug
Ok, modules loaded: Bug.
Prelude Bug> number
ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
  (GHC version 6.10.1 for i386-apple-darwin):
	loadObj: failed

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

  * #2973: we should virtualise the CWD inside the GHC API, not in the client
