No idea. I know it's inefficient but this is not the issue. The issue  
is that with some strange tweaks it runs fast.

I have no "data <- get". Did you try this on your system to see if  
your fix works?

We spent a lot of time tweaking this on #haskell yesterday and you  
need to be quite precise at what you tweak to get it right. I would  
appreciate if you could actually run the code.

Also, what will this lock do and how far do you want it to extend? I  
do need the threads to run in parallel.

	Thanks, Joel
