Comment (by bgamari):

 I scattered a few `HasCallStacks` about and let it run again and saw the
 following failure,
 {{{
 setnumcapabilities001: sendWakeup CallStack (from HasCallStack):
   sendWakeup, called at libraries/base/GHC/Event/TimerManager.hs:205:19 in
 base:GHC.Event.TimerManager
   wakeManager, called at libraries/base/GHC/Event/TimerManager.hs:223:7 in
 base:GHC.Event.TimerManager
   registerTimeout, called at libraries/base/GHC/Event/Thread.hs:59:10 in
 base:GHC.Event.Thread: invalid argument (Bad file descriptor)
 }}}

 The last frame of the callstack corresponds to the `registerTimeout` in
 `threadDelay`.
