'select' fails for very large arguments to 'threadDelay'
The following program crashes GHC with an internal error:
import Control.Concurrent
main = threadDelay 9223372036840001
That seems to be the smallest value that still crashes threadDelay. The next smallest value works. Interestingly, the largest value that works happens to be equal to:
((maxBound :: Int) div
10^7 - 1) * 10^4
- .. for whatever that's worth.
If you compile this (with or without optimizations) on ghc-7.4.1, the program crashes with the following error message:
select: Invalid argument bug: internal error: select failed
(GHC version 7.4.1 for x86_64_unknown_linux)
Please report this as a GHC bug: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/reportabug
