    fix for GHCi tests that raise exceptions or exit · 2dbdcc36
    Simon Marlow authored
    We need to call GHC.TopHandler.runIOFastExit instead of
    GHC.TopHandler.runIO.  Recent fixes to the shutdown code have meant
    that when a thread invokes shutdownHaskellAndExit(), other main
    threads get a chance to exit (as they should), but this means that we
    might have a race between the child thread trying to exit the program
    and the main thread doing the same.  In the case of GHCi, if we're
    running an interpreted computation that needs to exit (as some tests
    do), then we really want this child thread to exit the program rather
    than the main thread.
