#1146: Fork bomb should throw an exception

-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
When fork bombing (example code below, just run 'f'), a failed forkIO
should raise an exception, but on 6.7.20070206 it just brings my system to
its knees for a while then sometimes crashes and sometimes I just have to
kill it. (printouts included just for the heck of it)
{{{
import Control.Concurrent
f = do a <- forkIO g
b <- forkIO g
putStrLn $ "f(): Forked a: " ++ (show a) ++ " and b: " ++ (show b)
return ()
g = do a <- forkIO f
b <- forkIO f
putStrLn $ "g(): Forked a: " ++ (show a) ++ " and b: " ++ (show b)
return ()
}}}
