 ----

 While playing with socket communication, I noticed that socket IO cannot
 be interrupted or killed. The attached program simply hangs, irregardless
 whether is was complied using the -threaded flag or not.

 {{{
 import Network
 import Control.Concurrent

 main = withSocketsDo $ do
     tid <- forkIO $ do
         s <- listenOn (PortNumber 1234)
         accept s
         return ()
     threadDelay 2000000
     killThread tid
 }}}
