I tried to force the data with:

loadState db = do d <- decode <$> B.readFile stateFile let force = sum $ M.elems $ M.size `fmap` d force `seq` atomically $ writeTVar db d

and I get the same error when trying to writeFile after doing a loadState.

What happens if you simply print the number of elements in the map? Forcing its spine is all you should need.
