 Replying to [comment:3 govereau]:
 > Just to be clear. I observed this problem with the threaded RTS on OSX
 and only with the STM-like example, not MVars. I am happy to hear that it
 is fixed in 6.10! Thanks!

 A thread created by 'forkIO' has an exception handler that ignores
 'BlockedIndefintely', so that is why it isn't printed.  It is still being
 raised, however.  I've just added a note about this to the documentation
 for 'forkIO'.  Just to be clear, nothing has changed in 6.10.1 here.
