Does ghc have daemon threads again?

The behaviour hasn't changed: when the main thread completes, the
program ends.  However, we do run finalizers first, and if one of the
finalizers blocks on an unavailable resource (perhaps something the main
thread forgot to free?), then you'll get a deadlock.

However, you shouldn't get the resurrectThreads error msg; any chance of
a repeatable example?  (or is it the whole of UniForm again :-()
