I believe there is a non-thread safe code fragment in Chapter 1(page 15):

import System.Directory (doesFileExist)

.....


exist <- doesFileExist filename

--  these two lines are non-thread safe     .. yes?? to be thread-safe
the  above line and the following line would have to be together
atomic ....

input <- if exists then readFile filename else return ""

...........
