I tried your example on 6.12.3 and it worked fine for me (Windows 7).

Hi All:
I have been trying to use System.timeout in windows, but for some reason it doesn't work, a concrete example is:
import Network.HTTP import System.Timeout
main = do rsp <- timeout 10000000 $ simpleHTTP $ getRequest "http://10.1.2.3" case rsp of Just rsp -> print $ show rsp Nothing -> error "Nothing"
In this case I would expect to receive "Nothing" after 10 seconds, but it ignores the timeout function.
I'm compiling with -threaded, but it does not work either, I'm using ghc 6.12.2.
Does someone know what could be going wrong ?
