Comment(by lpsmith):
Ok, I think I have a better fix on what is going on now; I finally
managed to replicate the bug in a program I specifically wrote to trigger
this bug, instead of one I cut down from the actual program I am writing.
If I get some time tomorrow, I'll see if I can't study the code path
triggered inside of configurator and develop an example that doesn't
depend directly on it. But I think I can rule out a library bug, as it
works fine on GHC 7.0.3 with the same libraries and an infinite
nonproductive loop outside of an unsafe FFI call shouldn't block the other
Haskell threads.
