This is with
- a 64 bit machine
- running MacOS X 10.7
- with GHC 7.2.1
- threadscope 0.2.0
- gtk-0.12.1

Looks like this may be related to cairo. I've gotten a similar error trying to run Clock.hs :-/
One thing also is that the Homebrew gtk package wants its own cairo dependency even though MacOS X ships with a cairo of its own. The cairo brew claims the system one is too old.
If you cabal install cairo you get the older system one.
I get a crash both with the older one and the Homebrew cairo linked in (I think)

Oh, the Clock.hs refers to the gtk2hs directory.
Also a C hello world for Cairo seems to run

Seems not be threadscope-specific at all, so have filed http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/gtk2hs/ticket/124
Note that this may be a blocker for anybody using a newer Mac

Thank you for the report. I've never encountered this on Linux/amd64, whether with TS or other programs. BTW, the gtk2hs ticket URL is actually http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/gtk2hs/ticket/1241

The following report by Ben Lippmeier seems to be related:
Threadscope segfaults randomly on mac. I installed gtk via homebrew and
then followed the instructions on the wiki. It's *just* stable enough to
use, but crashes every few minutes, which is very frustrating.
It crashes randomly just when I'm scrolling the plot.
When it starts up it complains:
desire:ray benl$ threadscope gloss-ray-interleave-800x600-N7.eventlog
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display "/tmp/launch-Bn2zDn/:0".

... so I expect it's writing to unallocated memory.

To which Edsko de Vries replied:
FWIW, none of those errors appear when I start threadscope on my Mac (gtk+ 2.24.9, gtksourceview-2.10.5, compiled manually direct from source). (I'm not getting crashes either but that probably doesn't mean much as I don't often use threadscope).
