[Haskell-beginners] Threading (lack of) interleaving

[Chris Schneider]

Ok, I've figured out my problem - it wasn't threading related at all -
instead it was the second thread dying off due to a ZMQ problem.
 Specifically I was reusing the node name, which apparently isn't allowed.
 Tweaking it such that it uses a different name for each fixes the issue.
