[Haskell-cafe] enumerators: exception that can't be catched

[Ben Doyle]

This is partially guesswork, but the code to catchWSError looks dubious:

    catchWsError :: WebSockets p a

             -> (SomeException -> WebSockets p a)             ->
WebSockets p a  catchWsError act c = WebSockets $ do      env <- ask
   let it  = peelWebSockets env $ act          cit = peelWebSockets
env . c      lift $ it `E.catchError` cit    where      peelWebSockets
env = flip runReaderT env . unWebSockets


Look at `cit`. It runs the recovery function, then hands the
underlying Iteratee the existing environment. That's fine if `act` is
at fault, but there are Iteratee- and IO-ish things in
WebSocketsEnv---if one of `envSink` or `envSendBuilder` is causing the
exception, it'll just get re-thrown after `E.catchError`. (I think.
That's the guesswork part.)

So check how `envSendBuilder` is built up, and see if there's a way it
could throw an exception on client disconnect.
