Excerpts from Felipe Almeida Lessa's message of Sun Jul 24 22:02:36 -0400 2011:
Does anything change if you somehow force a GC sometime after "good2"? Perhaps with some calculation generating garbage, perhaps with performGC. IIRC, the runtime detects BlockedIndefinitelyOnMVar on GC. But I'm probably wrong =).
That's correct. resurrectThreads is called after garbage collection on the list of threads found to be garbage. Each of these threads will be woken up and sent a signal: BlockedOnDeadMVar if the thread was blocked on an MVar, or NonTermination if the thread was blocked on a Black Hole. Cheers, Edward
