How does killThread work with FFI calls? What happens at the low level when a thread is blocked on an FFI call and received a KillThread exception? Does it exit immediately via some GHC magic or is the exception caught when the FFI call returns?

The latter.
Does this change if I kill a thread that's blocked on I/O in a threaded runtime? Does it get cleaned up immediately? -- http://wagerlabs.com/
