3689,GHCi bug on too long input lines,harry666t,,"This is probably a very strange thing to do, but when you put a really, really, really long line (mine was about 59000 characters long) in a file and try to load the module in ghci, you get an error message:

ghc-6.8.2: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
  (GHC version 6.8.2 for i386-unknown-linux):
	linkBCO: >= 64k insns in BCO

The same thing happens when you paste a really long line in the terminal in an interactive GHCi shell.

The bug seems to only affect ghci; the module compiles without problems with ghc.

I'm using the GHC version from Debian Squeeze.
