Catch too-large allocations and emit an error message (#4505)
This is a temporary measure until we fix the bug properly (which is somewhat tricky, and we think might be easier in the new code generator). For now we get: ghc-stage2: sorry! (unimplemented feature or known bug) (GHC version 7.1 for i386-unknown-linux): Trying to allocate more than 1040384 bytes. See: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4550 Suggestion: read data from a file instead of having large static data structures in the code.
