Comment (by dfeuer):

 The code you point to implements `MVar`s. The example code doesn't seem to
 handle any of those directly. The only `MVar`s I see in the vicinity are
 in `async`, and there don't seem to be any arrays around there to index
 improperly. Specifically, `forConcurrently_` (used in `main.hs`) is
 ultimately defined in terms of `concurrently`, which uses an `MVar`. But
 that doesn't bring any potentially-dangerous vector indexes close enough
 to make those look like good candidates for the problem.
