I've run into what might be an issue with running Commands under a SimulationActivity. Before I dig into this, I just wanted to ask if there are any known issues? Nothing shows up in the forum nor bug list.
This is RTT v1.10, though I see no changes of interest between v1.10 and v1.12 in the files that would likely affect this behavior.

Not that I know of... there was a problem with script functions executing as
commands, but that was fixed in scripting.
SimulationActivity does not always play nice, since it spins and may block
other tasks if the scheduler/priority is not set correctly.

Understood. SimulationActivity is incredibly useful for unit tests of components which require that a period be set (otherwise we stick with SlaveActivity), but we do sometimes have "fun" beating it into shape .... :-(
In this case, a simple cranial rectum extraction fixed the problem ... nothing wrong with SimAct.
Sorry for the noise
