http://gambaswiki.org/bugtracker/edit?object=BUG.2300&from=L21haW4-

Brian G reported a new bug.

Summary
-------

If App has multiple processes, any process.wait inhibits io from all other processes

Type             : Bug
Priority         : High
Gambas version   : Master
Product          : Language


Description
-----------

If my application has multiple processes running doing io
and I start another process but want in the main line of my code to wait for it to complete.

Then when I do a

MyProcess.wait()

It inhibits all io from my other background tasks this seems like a bug?

but doing the 
      while MyProcess.state = process.running
           wait 0.01
      wend

Allows all io to work fine.

I am not sure if this is a feature or a bug.
