Ah, I don't have the gcc 3.3 update, so I'll grab that and see if I can
reproduce the problem.  That does seem to do it, although for me it doesn't
show up until compiling Patch.lhs.

So for the moment my recommendation would be to compile with 3.1.  You can
change the default compiler to gcc 3.1 with

sudo /usr/sbin/gcc_select 3.1

(and back again with 3.3).  I'll look into this a bit more later, but it's
quite possible that the ghc 6.0 macintosh binary won't run with apple's gcc
3.3.  On the other hand I know that ghc 6.0 on debian runs fine with gcc
3.3... it may have to do with which compiler compiles ghc itself.

You might also want to run gcc --version just to make sure you were
compiling with 3.3 in the first place.
