> Just to be clear. I observed this problem with the threaded RTS on OSX
and only with the STM-like example, not MVars. I am happy to hear that it
is fixed in 6.10! Thanks!
A thread created by 'forkIO' has an exception handler that ignores
'BlockedIndefintely', so that is why it isn't printed. It is still being
raised, however. I've just added a note about this to the documentation
for 'forkIO'. Just to be clear, nothing has changed in 6.10.1 here.
