Gitlab bug preventing reporting of GHC bug

Gitlab bug preventing reporting of GHC bug

The bug-reporting bug

I ran into a GHC bug, and was told to go to this page to report it. That one said I should go to this one to "register an account on this Trac" (which is gibberish to me). I followed the link and tried to fill it out (see below), but every time I click "create page" I am taken to a page with a big orange image of what might be a cubist fox's head, which says

500
Whoops, something went wrong on our end.
Try refreshing the page, or going back and attempting the action again.

Please contact your GitLab administrator if this problem persists."

How I've been trying to fill out the bug report registration form

Title

trac/ghc/register ghc panic, "impossible" happened while running tests, failed to load shared object

Content

Here's the message I got from within GHCI. (The first line is the command, tests, that I had just run.)

> tests
ghc: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
  (GHC version 8.6.3 for x86_64-unknown-linux):
        Loading temp shared object failed: /tmp/user/1000/ghc24072_0/libghc_36.so: undefined symbol: RsltziRValid_validRslt_closure

Please report this as a GHC bug:  http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug

Here's the commit of the code I was working on when this happened.

I keep the test suite in the main body of code, so that I can run it from within GHCI. That's what I was doing when it happened.

I've kept a copy of that shared object (I'm assuming that's what .so stands for) but when I try to attach it I get a "500 Internal Server Error" message.
