threadDelay not ending

[Seth Kurtzberg]

What is your environment?

My project (which is about 70% Haskell) makes extensive use of
threadDelay.  I've not seen this behavior with 6.4.2.  My environment is
Linux using a recent 2.6 kernel.

For obvious reasons I need to know whether there is a threadDelay issue
here that is preparing to bite me.
