This particular example illustrates a bug in 6.10.1 that we've since fixed:
OK, that's good...
However in general you can still write expressions that don't allocate anything (e.g. nfib 1000), and your watchdog thread won't get a chance to run unless there's a spare CPU available (+RTS -N2).
Cheers, Simon
But that's bad. What are my options here? Will this threads-not-running issue be fixed in the next release? Since it worked fine in 6.8 as far as I could tell, that makes me think that it must not be anything completely fundamental and unfixable. -- gwern
