 This thread
 http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2010-April/thread.html#76305
 describes a space leak that concerns the knot-tying behaviour of the
 `forever` combinator.

 However, my gut feel is that the leakiness or otherwise should not depend
 on how `forever` is defined, so I'm making a ticket to remind me to get
 back to it.  A good place in the thread to start is here
