Re: "GHC as a library" stalls when nobody is consuming it's output

While trying to implement a GUI for GHCi, I have run into an annoying concurrency problems. I think "GHC as a library" is at fault, as it stalls (maybe some deadlock) when nobody is consuming it's output.

Thanks Mads, I took a look but didn't get to the bottom of the problem yet. It behaves differently with the current development GHC, at least. For now I've created a ticket for it: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/1419 and I'll get to it before the 6.8 release. Cheers, Simon
