  Caused by a V8 macro executing a second V8 macro synchronously.
  Example code:

#language = "V8"  
#async = "off"  
editor.ExecuteMacro("runner.jsee", eeRunFile | eeMacroSyncOnly);  

executes

#language = "V8"  
#async = "off"  
OutputBar.writeln("Hi there I’m runner!");  

Removing the eeMacroSyncOnly flag does not raise an error but I`ll end up in a race condition. My application requires the first macro to wait until the second macro ends.
What works and doesn’t is:
✔️ JScript executing JScript synchronously
✔️ JScript executing V8 synchronously
✔️ V8 executing JScript synchronously
❌ V8 executing V8 synchronously 😞
Question:
Is there an alternative way to wait for the second script to end (e.g. a semaphore)?
Note that for my particular application #include is not an option.
