Comment(by simonpj):

 We don't know what is wrong but Ian speculates that it's a bug in the GHCi
 linker, since it works with dynamic-by-default.  It could also be
 something to do with the fact that with the GHCi linker we get two copies
 of the base package but have to do some hacks to make sure that there is
 only one blob of I/O manager state.

 Has anyone else come across this `threadDelay` problem in MacOSX?  Can
 anyone help?

 Simon
