trying to load a module (with GHC API) causes the impossible to happen
Here's a minimal test case to reproduce it:
~/programming% ghci
GHCi, version 6.8.2: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help
Loading package base ... linking ... done.
Prelude> :m + GHC
Prelude GHC> s <- newSession (Just "/usr/local/lib/ghc-6.8.2")

Prelude GHC> prelude <- findModule s (mkModuleName "Prelude") Nothing
ghc-6.8.2: panic! (the 'impossible' happened)
(GHC version 6.8.2 for i386-unknown-linux):
no package state yet: call GHC.setSessionDynFlags
