Have you got a complete (but preferably small) program showing the
problem?
Ian,
Here is the source and behavior that I'm seeing (Linux x86, under both
6.6 and 6.7-20070404:
module Main where
import System.IO
import System.IO.Unsafe
import System.Process
import Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec
main :: IO ()
main = do (_, h, _, p) <- runInteractiveCommand "telnet nyx.nyx.net"
t <- hGetContentsTimeout h 15000
print t >> terminateProcess p
hGetContentsTimeout :: Handle -> Int -> IO String
hGetContentsTimeout h t = do
hSetBuffering stdin NoBuffering
ready <- hWaitForInput h t; eof <- hIsEOF h
if ((not ready) || eof) then return []
else do c <- hGetChar h
s <- unsafeInterleaveIO (hGetContentsTimeout h t)
return (c:s)
-- Behavior with threaded RTS, string is returned early because of EOF:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/remote$ ghc --make Remote.hs -o remote -threaded
[1 of 1] Compiling Main ( Remote.hs, Remote.o )
Linking remote ...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/remote$ ./remote
"Trying 206.124.29.1...\nConnected to nyx.nyx.net.\nEscape character is '^]'.\n"
-- Behavior with non-threaded RTS, proper timeout is observed:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/src/remote$ ./remote
"Trying 206.124.29.1...\nConnected to nyx.nyx.net.\nEscape character
is '^]'.\n\n\n Welcome to Nyx, The Spirit of the
Night\n (303) 409-1401\n
nyx.nyx.net -- 206.124.29.1\n
nyx10.nyx.net -- 206.124.29.2\n\n Free Public
Internet Access\n\n

(If you get timed out, try later. Nyx would be too slow to
use.)\n\n\n\n\r\n\r\nSunOS UNIX (nyx)\r\n\r\r\n\rlogin: "
