[Haskell-cafe] Spurious program crashes

[Joel Reymont]

I'm getting crashes like this and I cannot figure out what the  
problem is. I'm launching a bunch of threads that connect to a server  
via TCP and exchange packets.

I am running operations like connect and receive in a timeout  
function that launches two threads and uses an MVar to figure out  
who's done first. The timeout function then kills the two threads.

Any ideas what could be causing this? I feel like a Haskell guinea  
pig these days :-).

My Cabal build options look like this

ghc-options: -fglasgow-exts -Wall -O -debug

And the stack trace:

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.
Reason: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at address: 0x3139322e
