Comment (by maeder):

 Replying to [comment:22 simonmar]:
 > yes, `stat` is returning `EINTR` and we're not expecting it to.  Change
 the call to `stat` in `getFileStatus` to use `throwErrnoIfMinus1Retry`
 (hope I've got that right from memory).

 I do not see what to try out here. I'm looking at
 `libraries/unix/System/Posix/Files.hsc` of ghc-7.6.3 (lines 179-189)

 {{{
 -- | @getFileStatus path@ calls gets the @FileStatus@ information (user
 ID,
 -- size, access times, etc.) for the file @path at .
 --
 -- Note: calls @stat at .
 getFileStatus :: FilePath -> IO FileStatus
 getFileStatus path = do
   fp <- mallocForeignPtrBytes (#const sizeof(struct stat))
   withForeignPtr fp $ \p ->
     withFilePath path $ \s ->
       throwErrnoPathIfMinus1_ "getFileStatus" path (c_stat s p)
   return (FileStatus fp)
 }}}
