In Clojure 1.4, I came across the following this week:

  user=> (def f (future (Thread/sleep 20000)))
  #'user/f
  user=> f
  #<core$future_call$reify__6110@27adc5f7: :pending>
  user=> (future-cancel f)
  true
  user=> f
  CancellationException   java.util.concurrent.FutureTask$Sync.innerGet
(FutureTask.java:220)

That is, when printing a future, the cancellation state isn't checked for
resulting in an exception when Future.get() is called. It's more annoying
when the future is part of a larger data structure.

Cheers,

Dave
