Chakravarty <chak@cse.unsw.edu.au> * lib/Ports.hs (newFilteringPort): ports are automagically closed when garbage collected (ensureRegularGC): kludge to avoid deadlocks due to delay in running finalisers * lib/Processes.hs (Proc): changed type to use explicit ports for output * lib/Ports.hs (chainPorts): added (<==): clarified semantics and reduced deadlock potential * lib/PortsVersion.hs (versnum): 0.3.1 2001-05-25 Manuel M.
