There's a missing 'do' here, right?

Are you sure this isn't interpreted as:
doEvent f usDelay = do (forkIO $ threadDelay usDelay)
doEvent f usDelay
f
I.e. just forking off processes that only does a delay, never even
getting to 'f'?
I interpreted Thomas's code to mean:
doEvent f usDelay = forkIO $
(do threadDelay usDelay
doEvent f usDelay
f)
Which appears to work nicely here.
