[RESOLVED] 'accept' behavior with an asynchronous exception inside of a 'block'

[Cat Dancer]

I had asked:

Aha, I finally noticed this in this in the Control.Exception documentation:

> With takeMVar interruptible, however, we can be safe in the
> knowledge that the thread can receive exceptions *right up until

(emphasis added)

Which answers my question!  :-)
