I'm not sure exactly what your program is supposed to be doing, but as
far as I can tell it's working fine :-)

While the accept is waiting for a connection, the thread doing the
accept has taken the MVar, thus blocking the other thread which is also
trying to take the MVar.  I think this is perhaps not what you had in
mind?
