Hello Dmitry,

Notes from GHC/Conc.hs:

-- Note: threadDelay, threadWaitRead and threadWaitWrite aren't really functional
-- on Win32, but left in there because lib code (still) uses them (the manner
-- in which they're used doesn't cause problems on a Win32 platform though.)

may be, authors of "Tackling The Awkward Squad" just wrote their
subroutines for working in Unix. also you can try -threaded option on
compilation and try to use forkOS isntead of forkIO
