{{{ This is re my posting under the subject "Weak pointers, garbage collection & deadlocks" on glasgow-haskell-users.

Basically, the problem is that finaliser threads that the next GC would generate aren't taken into account when determining whether there are any more threads to run.

I attach a program reproducing the error. }}}
