:set prompt λ makes WinGHCI unable to start. #7

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Enter ":set prompt λ"
2. You will see an error*, close WinGHCI and start it again.
3. Its state will be "not responding".

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect it to work, but it hangs.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
WinGHCI 1.0.6 on Windows 8.1 x64

Please provide any additional information below.
Probably because of bad Unicode support. The fix is to open regedit, navigate 
to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Haskell\WinGHCi and delete 
GHCi_PROMPT_COMBO(number here) REG_SZ λ . For more info see 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14280764/winghci-wont-start

*The error is:
Prelude> :set prompt λ
<stdout>: hPutChar: invalid argument (invalid character)
