Cannot killThread in listen/accept on Windows threaded runtime

The killThread is not able to kill threads accepting socket connections on Windows.

Run attached file either in GHCi:

runghc.exe ListenOn.hs

or compile threaded:

ghc --make -threaded ListenOn.hs

Resulting binary hangs.

Expected behavior: should finish without problems.

Non-threaded runtime produces expected behavior. Seems to work correctly on Linux.

Affected: ghc-6.10.4 and ghc-6.12.1.
