4145	Interpreter mode can not parse list with 30k entries ...	dariomx		"Hello Haskellers,

I have something to report about the interpreter mode command ""runhaskell"". When I try it on a file which contains a very large list (~ 30k entries) it just crashes saying:

dariob@kurgan > runhaskell A001913.hs 
ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
  (GHC version 6.10.4 for i386-unknown-linux):
	linkBCO: >= 64k insns in BCO

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


I suspect is some hard coded limit in that program, cause when I compile it, it goes well and I am able to use the compiled list in another modules (takes a while to compile the module with the big list by the way).

I am attaching the file here, in order to let you reproduce the error. I think the only thing special about it is the big size (is a list of integers).

Kind regards,
Long life to Haskell."	bug	closed	normal		Compiler	6.10.4	duplicate			Linux	x86	GHCi crash
