Subject: FIX #1177, partially at least.
X-Git-Url: http://git.megacz.com/?p=ghc-hetmet.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=eb5791fe867f6441d270344298678f45ed4a75e4;hp=eb5791fe867f6441d270344298678f45ed4a75e4

FIX #1177, partially at least.
Now we don't wait for outstanding IO requests when shutting down at
program exit time, but we still wait when shutting down a DLL (via
hs_exit()).  There ought to be a better way to do this, but
terminating the threads forcibly is not a good idea (it never is: the
thread might be holding a mutex when it dies, for example).

I plan to add some docs to the user guide to describe how to shut
down a DLL properly.
