Depends on what your kernel supports. But that's just infrastructure, so 
(theoretically) it should just be invisible to the Haskell runtime user.

Surprised that the RT wasn't using the more advanced interfaces. Web servers 
have been using them for years; that's why they exist.

Ok, thanks!  Are there any caveats to know about, or any documentation
on the new manager?  Is it safe to assume that so long as I'm using
the standard threading and network/io libraries, I'll be using it
correctly?
