What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Tried to :set prompt "λ> "
2. WinGHCi crashed. After starting again if freezes after visualizing the 
window.
3. After reinstall of Haskell platform everything remains the same - WinGHCi 
freezes after start.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The WinGHCi window is Not Responding.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
WinGHCi - the one that comes with Haskell Platform 2012.4.0.0. OS - Windows 7 
Ultimate x64.

Please provide any additional information below.
Tried to find any remaining .conf files after the second uninstall of Haskell 
Platform that may cause the problem but couldn't find any. Meanwhile GHCi works 
just fine in cmd.

After deleting the row  GHCi_PROMPT_COMBO3 REG_SZ "λ> " in 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Haskell\WinGHCi 1.0.6 everything is back to normal 
with WinGHCi.

That's because of the way WinGHCi works with Unicode strings with symbols 
outside of the current system code page. See issue #4, "Lousy Unicode support 
in WinGHCi..." — I tried :set prompt "λ> " in patched WinGHCi and it worked 
like a charm. And unpatched one hangs on me too — unless I set my "Language 
for non-Unicode programs" to Greek.
