Original bug ID: 7131
Reporter: dobenour
Status: closed (set by @mshinwell on 2016-12-07T15:49:04Z)
Resolution: not a bug
Priority: normal
Severity: minor
Target version: 4.03.1+dev
Category: ~DO NOT USE (was: OCaml general)

Bug description

OCaml's compilers currently dies with an uncaught exception in certain cases that are due to user error. It should not be possible to cause this to happen except through resource exhaustion or unsafe OCaml code (such as misusing Obj).

Additional information

GHC tells users to file a bug report when an internal error is detected
