Hledger: "unable to decommit memory: Invalid argument"

I'm getting an error, unable to decommit memory: Invalid argument, working with this journal.

/tmp $ hledger -f /tmp/anon.journal print -p today
hledger: unable to decommit memory: Invalid argument
/tmp $ hledger -f anon.journal print -p today
/tmp $ hledger -f anon.journal reg -p today

hledger: unable to decommit memory: Invalid argument

I'm using hledger 1.0.1 (debian amd64 package 1.0.1-1+b1)

/tmp $ hledger +RTS --info
 [("GHC RTS", "YES")
 ,("GHC version", "8.0.1")
 ,("RTS way", "rts_v")
 ,("Build platform", "x86_64-unknown-linux")

Let me know if any additional info would be helpful in troubleshooting.

Thanks! That is unfortunate. See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=847677. It appears to be fixed in ghc 8.0.1-15, but perhaps the hledger packages also need rebuilding. Would you mind reporting a bug against the hledger package, https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting .

I expect you could work around this by building hledger yourself, http://hledger.org/download b or c.

I've opened https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=860829 in the debian bug tracker.

I've confirmed that I no longer get the error when building hledger 1.2 with GHC 8.0.2.

This is fixed in Debian sid now, and doesn't affect the version in Jessie.
