I won't dare to try to characterize the difference exactly but you should expect very different behaviour between Hugs and GHC when using unsafePerformIO with threads and exceptions. The Hugs version of unsafePerformIO isn't intended to receive as much abuse as the GHC version whereas the GHC version has been (ab)used by large numbers of people. -- Alastair _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
