I think I've traced it to base64. Here is a Dockerfile that reproduces the segfault: ``` Docker FROM i386/debian:sid RUN echo 'deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ unstable main' >> /etc/apt/sources.list RUN apt update RUN apt install -y cabal-install libghc-base64-dev libghc-bytestring-dev RUN printf 'import \"base64\" Data.ByteString.Base64 (encodeBase64)\\n\\ import qualified Data.ByteString as B\\n\\ main = B.readFile \"/usr/bin/whoami\" >>= print . encodeBase64\\n'\\ > test.hs RUN runghc -XPackageImports test.hs ```",
