3247,GHCI segfaults when per-thread stack size is larger than max stack size,earthy,simonmar,"This happened to me this morning;

{{{
n142233:thesparse arthurvl$ ghci +RTS -H1024M -k128M -RTS
Segmentation fault
n142233:thesparse arthurvl$ ghci +RTS -H1024M -k8M -RTS
Bus error
}}}

Obviously this is a typo, but the response is somewhat unexpected.
And yes, the heap-hint is needed, as without the heap hint it turns into:

{{{
n142233:thesparse arthurvl$ ghci +RTS -k8M -RTS
Too late for parseStaticFlags: call it before newSession
n142233:thesparse arthurvl$ ghci +RTS -k128M -RTS
Too late for parseStaticFlags: call it before newSession
}}}
