In code that doesn't call getResult, a call to async to run a very long task is not returning, but rather is running the call as if it is a regular (synchronous) function call, and only returns a future when the call is done. This happens with the old vibe core and with the new one (1.0.0.beta-4). I'll be sticking with the new one henceforth.

I've been working to get a small piece of code to replicate this effect without success so far. Wondering if this suggests anything?
