Comment (by NeilMitchell):
Yes, the system call is crucial - a similar threadDelay has no problems. I
only used sleep because it's a simple process that was available, I have
no reason to think it's the delay causing a problem.
In the sleep example, the child process isn't actually using the open file
handle - it was in the original example but that turned out to be
irrelevant.
BTW, this error is pretty severe for certain users -
threads+windows+files+system is a combination that crops up everywhere
when using Haskell as a powerful scripting language.
