Hello John,

If anyone is listening, I would very much like for there to be a mechanism by which external functions can be called "unsafe"-ly, but without blocking all other Haskell threads. I have code that does this:
+RTS -N2
This doesn't work, which was why the OP asked in the first place. When a thread calls an unsafe foreign function, it blocks everything until that function returns.
