Comment:

 I think I have an old `ghc-events` which doesn't handle unicode correctly,
 but I now get the same garbage for both `labelThread` and `traceEventIO`,
 so I believe this is fixed by:
 {{{
 commit b41a99bda499801fd88ef0e29b07b1e6d7a56f1b
 Author: Ian Lynagh <ian at well-typed.com>
 Date:   Thu Oct 25 23:54:40 2012 +0100

     Handle UTF8 correctly in GHC.Conc.labelThread; fixes #6010
 }}}
