See the attached code.  Use "make" to compile and you should get an
 executable file called "Bug.bin", then you can run it by typing the
 command "./Bug.bin N" where N is the number of concurrent threads.

 For N<=32. The program works fine. It will simply loop and you need
 another terminal to kill it.

 For N>32, it always crashes immediately:

 {{{
 $ ./Bug.bin 33
 Bug.bin: internal error: too many workers; runaway worker creation?
     (GHC version 6.5.20060620 for i386_unknown_linux)
     Please report this as a GHC bug:
