[Haskell-cafe] Re: all threads are blocked by recvFrom

[Vitaliy Akimov]

Rebuilding of the network package with changed safety helped but I
don't think this is the solution. BTW accept is declared as safe. What
is the reason of declaring recvFrom as unsafe?  I think this breaks
highly required feature. Apparently it's impossible to make concurrent
server for non connection based protocols.
