this only happens in the -threaded RTS, in the non-threaded RTS a FFI call will block all the other Haskell threads.

Just to be absolutely sure... Does the above apply to safe _and_ unsafe FFI? I have been using the non-threaded runtime with unsafe FFI calls (OpenSSL, Zlib) and I do not believe my runtime was being blocked. Maybe I just didn't notice it, though. -- http://wagerlabs.com/
