Possible error using concurrency

{- 
     Error description:

     In windows xp sp2 with ghc-6-4, GHCi ends with 
        "internal error: deadlock: main thread blocked in a 
strange way"
     In RedHat Linux, it just blocks.
     A probably cause, it's that the scheduler hasn't yet 
run oneThread
     before the second putTMVAr, because no memory 
allocation has been
     requested.
     Try on the calls forkIO and runInUnboundThread.
