 on ghc-devs] pointed to
 [https://github.com/ghc/ghc/blob/master/libraries/base/GHC/Conc/Sync.lhs#L483
 base/GHC/Conc/Sync.lhs] decoding thread block reasons from constants
 defined in includes/rts/Constants.h to a Haskell type.

 The constants were modified in GHC-7.8.2, which created problems with
 eventlogs (ticket #9003), so the constants were reverted, but base was not
 adapted to the respective fix.
