Re: [MLton] MLton race condition (similar to what was solved by structure One)?

Yes,  this  is  definitely  broken.   I made a signal handler which just
converts a real (9.0) to a string using Real.toString, and then had  the
program  convert a different real (1.0) to a string using Real.toString.
Then used gdb to set a breakpoint at Real64_gdtoa, ran the program,  and
at  the breakpoint set it the signal.  The result was that both calls to
Real.toString returned "9".

I actually would have expected this to work OK and to only get both  "9"
if  I  set  the breakpoint (and hence got the signal) after Real64_gdtoa
computed its result (but before Real.toString finished).
