#8006: Asynchronous exception rethrown synchronously inside runStmt ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: edsko | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Compiler | Version: 7.6.3 Keywords: | Os: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Failure: None/Unknown Difficulty: Unknown | Testcase: Blockedby: | Blocking: Related: | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by simonpj): Wait... you say "this exception has become the value of a thunk". Are you saying that if a thunk evaluation is interrupted by an asynch exn `e`, then the value of the thunk becomes `throw e`? Surely we should rather just freeze evaluation of the thunk so if it is evaluated again we simply resume? I don't think an asynch exn should ''ever'' become the value of a thunk. That makes no sense!
