Comment(by lpsmith):
This actually makes sense to me; if 7.2.2 is smarter about
reducing/eliminating memory allocation than 7.0.3, then you could
eliminate all your yield points.
What doesn't make quite sense to me, is why this fails to work even
-threaded -N2. Are Haskell threads tied to a particular capability? Or
at least, if a Haskell thread never yields, would the Haskell threads on
that capability be stuck?
