 Hi,


 I'm running GHC 7.10.2 on Windows 7 x64. Given this code that reads bytes
 of `stdin`:
 {{{#!hs
 import Foreign.C
 import Foreign
 import System.Posix.Internals
 import qualified GHC.IO.FD as FD

 readStdin bytes = allocaBytes bytes $ \p ->
   throwErrnoIfMinus1 "" $ c_safe_read (FD.fdFD FD.stdin) p (fromIntegral
 bytes)
 }}}

 Running
 {{{#!hs
 readStdin (32 * 1024)
 }}}

 Throws the following
 {{{
 *** Exception: resource exhausted (Not enough space)
 }}}

 Taking less bytes, e.g. `readStdin (30 * 1024)`, runs as expected.

 This code is motivated by
 [[https://github.com/haskell/bytestring/issues/35|this]] issue in the
 `bytestring` library. This is essentially a minimization of the error case
 [[https://github.com/haskell/bytestring/issues/35#issuecomment-148954406|here]].
