+-- forks off another thread and starts on a large computation.  
+-- The child thread attempts to get the result of the same large
+-- computation (and should get blocked doing so, because the parent
+-- won't have evaluated it yet).  When the result is available, the
+-- child passes it back to the parent who prints it out.
