Heh.  OK, I will try again :-)

Funny thing is that I have an i386 chroot on this box, and ghc 6.2
doesn't seem to have any problem with it in that chroot.  I figured it
was a 6.4 regression, but I suppose it does make sense that it could be
an amd64 performance thing (ghc does seem slower on amd64 overall).
