Hi!
Is there a way to disable throwing BlockedIndefinitelyOnMVar
exceptions? Because I am doing small program where I do not care if
some threads block. As at the end user will have to interrupt the
program anyway.

I don't know if there's a way to disable it, but you can wrap all your
spawned threads with an exception handler that catches BlockedIndefinitelyOnMVar
and ignores it. If the thread blocks indefinitely, it's as good as dead,
so there won't be any difference in behavior.
Cheers,

I find this behaviour a little annoying. Sometimes I *want* the thread
to block indefinitely! I.e. I want it to block until it receives a
KillThread exception. Is there a better way to accomplish that without
waiting on an MVar which will never fill? As a workaround what I've
been doing lately is

I'm guessing the trigger condition for
BlockedIndefinitelyOnMVar is blocked and mvar refcount == 1
It's not simply a reference count (the thread that's blocked forever can
hold multiple references to the MVar and it's still blocked
indefinitely).

If you plan to send an exception, you must have the ThreadId saved elsewhere,
which should prevent the BlockedIndefinitelyOnMVar exception.
But this behavior is something they wish to remove in future versions
