Comment(by simonmar):
I have a fix for the segfault that I'll commit shortly.
The reason that `getLine` does not resume correctly is that the IO library
does not recognise `Timeout` as an asynchronous exception - it looks for
the `AsyncException` type. Really this is wrong, because whether an
exception is asynchronous is a property of how it was thrown, not the
exception itself, but we don't currently have a way for the handler to
tell whether an exception was thrown asynchronously or not. That is a
topic for another ticket, which I'll create...
