[Haskell-cafe] turn off "thread blocked indefinitely in an STM transaction"?

You can always prevent these blocked indefinitely exceptions by making a
stable pointer to the threadId. This works because using ThreadId an
Exception could be thrown to that thread, which would cause it to
continue (and not block indefinitely).
