    Fix a bug that can lead to noDuplicate# not working sometimes. · c44aaa10
    Simon Marlow authored
    The symptom is that under some rare conditions when running in
    parallel, an unsafePerformIO or unsafeInterleaveIO computation might
    be duplicated, so e.g. lazy I/O might give the wrong answer (the
    stream might appear to have duplicate parts or parts missing).
    
    I have a program that demonstrates it -N3 or more, some lazy I/O, and
    a lot of shared mutable state.  See the comment with stg_noDuplicatezh
    in PrimOps.cmm that explains the problem and the fix.  This took me
    about a day to find :-(
