commit 6e71bdd5742a62bcd239757f3cc8872d1615fc26

    Remove mention of setUncaughtExceptionHandler from forkIO.
    
    First of all, the 'forkIO' mechanism doesn't use
    'setUncaughtExceptionHandler' to install the masking
    handler: it uses 'catchException'.  Second of all,
    'setUncaughtExceptionHandler' is undocumented, global, and
    wouldn't even work for the intended purpose!
