Hi,

the discussion on ForeignPtrs without finalizers didn't come to a 
conclusion. I specifically need the nullForeignPtr which was easy enough 
with the FFI of GHC 5.04:

newForeignPtr nullPtr (return ())

Judging from the source code of GHC 6.0,

newForeignPtr nullPtr nullFunPtr

will lead to a crash when the finalizer is executed. Could that be fixed 
in 6.0.1? Or do I have to create a dummy C function?

Thanks,
Axel.
