Source code will be attached.  This is a modified version of bug #705:
 each thread calls a safe C function via FFI.  The normal behavior of the
 program is to loop forever. The program works fine using +RTS -N1, but
 when using +RTS -N2 or more threads on a SMP machine, it crashes
 nondeterministically with all kinds of funny error messages.  I can
 reproduce it on difference linux SMP machines.
