This looks to be a recent problem - it was working on earlier versions of 10.4
(and I've just tried it on 10.3.9 and all seems well).  I'd guess that what
has happened is the version of the Boehm GC we ship with mercury 0.12.X is no
longer compatible with recent versions MacOS 10.4 - I'll have a look into
this.

In the meantime you may want to try using a recent rotd rather than the
0.12 release since the former uses a more recent version of the Boehm
collector.

Cheers,
Julien.
