Since the main thread is bound, and unbound threads are never executed on an OS thread which has some Haskell thread bound, this would imply that when the main thread spawns a Haskell thread and they synchronize a lot with each other using MVars, the synchronization needs OS-thread synchronization - the threads will not execute on a the same OS thread.
Correct.
Is it important which thread executes Haskell code (I bet no) and unsafe foreign calls (I don't know)? If not, couldn't the same OS thread execute code of both threads until a safe foreign call is made? -- __("< Marcin Kowalczyk \__/ qrczak@knm.org.pl ^^ http://qrnik.knm.org.pl/~qrczak/
