Threaded RTS problems on FreeBSD

The threaded RTS has some problems on FreeBSD. Symptoms are occasional hangs, seen when

  • using a stage2 GHC compiled with -threaded
  • running the testsuite, the timeout program sometimes hangs

I have been unable to reproduce these on a uniprocessor, but have seen them on a dual proc.
