Deferred transition is the bane of MIDAS, I personally can never understand how they work
and what they do, and I studied them and understood them many times now.

I recommend against using them. Maybe you can explain what you do and I can suggest a way
to avoid using the deferred transition.

Some other people use deferred transitions, and it works for them,
in conjunction with normal transitions, which have been multithreaded
for years.

So unlikely this is a new bug.

P.S. I do not remember any use of deferred transition in the T2K/ND280 FGD, TPC and GSC frontends,
maybe it is in some other subsystem or was introduced after my time.

K.O.
