 Replying to [comment:4 AndreasVoellmy]:
 > I have not been able to reproduce this on my server. Can you give more
 detail on which version of GHC you are using? I.e. is it HEAD? Can you
 give the last commit?

 It's HEAD. I'm on d02a50ee1437a24a0fb584286cf8f16cff59d217 but it
 shouldn't matter much I think. How long did you run

 {{{
 while true; do ./Race; echo -n .; done
 }}}

 for? It can take a while (i.e. up to a minute) for the bug to manifest.
