Is it possible that the String you are passing to uLog contains
unevaluated calls to uLog itself, which would thereby create a deadlock
as uLog tries to take the MVar that is already being held by the same
thread?

We once had this problem with hPutStr where if the argument string
contained a call to trace, which is unsafePerformIO $ hPutStr, the
result would be deadlock.  Now hPutStr has to go to some trouble to
evaluate the input string while not holding the lock.

Cheers,
Simon
