REPL freezes up, Ellie freezes up too, both freezing the whole system #159

An innocent and incorrect line like:

List.foldl (\a b -> b a) () []

or:

List.foldl (\a b -> b a) (,) []

freezes REPL up and after a while the whole system freezes too.

The same happens in Ellie, where compilation of these doesn't finish (ever), eventually freezing the browser and system too.

[Elm 0.18 / ubuntu]

Thanks for the issue! Make sure it satisfies this checklist. My human colleagues will appreciate it!

Here is what to expect next, and if anyone wants to comment, keep these things in mind.

Thanks for the report!

This looks like it's the same issue as in this bug: https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-compiler/issues/1602

Since it's fixed in 0.19, I'll close this for now.
