Interesting.  I can't replicate this on a stock ocaml toplevel.  It
does occur, however, on a toplevel with vmthreads compiled in.  I've
attached the file foo.ml, as well as the output file with the
appropriate OCAMLRUNPARAM value.

I created the toplevel with this command:

    ocamlfind ocamlmktop -linkpkg -package threads -vmthread -o foocaml

And then I got the error by running the command "./foocaml foo.ml".
