[Haskell-cafe] Unbound threads and FFI

[Joel Reymont]

Simon,

I could not find the paper at the link below but it can be found here:

http://www.haskell.org/~simonmar/papers/conc-ffi.pdf

The paper does not explain the differences I'm seeing between runs of  
my program linked with the threaded and non-threaded runtimes. I get  
crashes with the threaded runtime (sent to both you and Simon) and  
things run slowly. With the non-threaded runtime everything flies.

All my FFI calls are marked unsafe and thus should be blocking in  
both runtimes so I cannot explain the differences.

	Thanks, Joel
