Asynchronous Calls in the Actor Framework

[TomOrr0W]

In this discussion, drjdpowell mentioned the asynchronous calls in the Actor Framework as an example.  When I was looking for all instances of Start Asynchronous Call, I noticed that they are different from each other - Launch Actor Core mentions a workaround for RT and uses non-strict references, while Time-Delayed Send Message does not.

Is this just a change that didn't propagate to all calls, or are there some circumstances where you would intentionally want strict references wired in the Time-Delayed Send Message way?

Someone pointed that out to me recently. I've made the same fix in LV 2020 for Time-Delayed Message.

I wish I could get the RT bug fixed, but it doesn't affect many VIs, and I haven't been able to get the team to make it a priority since the workaround exists.

What is the RT bug?

Some sort of root loop priority inversion.

I suspect this is the same issue as CAR 678300.
