[Haskell-beginners] forkIO and signal handlers

[Michael Litchard]

Here's the error message. The problem is clear, not sure what to do
about it. My broken code should show my intent though.

> main :: IO ()
> main = do
>     let world = (newEmptyTMVar :: ProcessState)
>     let jCount = (newEmptyTMVar :: JobCount)
>     installHandler userDefinedSignal1 (forkIO $ Catch $ worldHandler world jCount) Nothing
>     sequence_ $ repeat $ worldCheck

I'd like to fork in Main. Right now I'm forking in worldHandler. If
that's what I have to do, then I'll just move on. But I'd like to keep
the forkIO call in Main if possible.
