Comment:

 Fixed:

 {{{
 Wed Mar 11 09:42:08 GMT 2009  Simon Marlow <[email protected]>
   * Fix #2992: don't create a named event
   Evidently I misread the docs for CreateEvent: if you pass a name to
   CreateEvent, then it creates a single shared system-wide Event with
   that name.  So all Haskell processes on the machine were sharing the
   same Event object.  duh.
 }}}

 and in libraries/base:

 {{{
 Wed Mar 11 09:39:38 GMT 2009  Simon Marlow <[email protected]>
   * avoid a space leak building up in the "prodding" IORef (part of #2992)
 }}}
