-- This test hopefully exercises the black hole code.  The main thread
-- 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.
