hs.TriggerEventAndWait does not seem to return once event is run

[Blade]

Has anyone else noticed that hs.TriggerEventAndWait does not seem to return when the event is done. It seems to hang and never come back.

Is this a known bug?

Looks like I have the same problem. Here is what I see in the log:
05/04/2013 5:01:28 PM - Event - START WAIT
then it hangs, and the event is never triggered

Have you ever find a way to make it work?

answering my own question:

Looks like you can't call this function from an "HomeSeer Event" thread because it creates a deadlock situation.

The solution is to create a thread from your script/plugin and call
TriggerEventAndWait from there.

how do you "The solution is to create a thread from your script" ? Any example.
