It works for me!
But I found another strange thing:
if there is a draw just before the multitask the multitaks hangs whereas if there is a draw and then a print the multitask works!
In attachment an example.

(file #30732)

multitask creates separate threads that can not communicate with the main thread, running the GUI. That makes sense, because you do not want a process running in the background to mess with your GUI. This means that you should not use functions that change the GUI inside the multitask functions!

However, there are some (maybe many) functions performing tasks that could benefit from multitask, but write something to the GUI (e.g. using pf.message). These should be changed.

In all cases, pf.message should be replaced with print. pf.message writes directly to the message board, while print writes to stdout, which is often redirected to the message board, with the same result. But stdout could be redirected during the multitask execution.

I was not able to run multiple commands in parallel and I realized that the line that was causing the problem was the read surface.
I have attached a short code showing the problem.
The problem is solved if in fileread.py I comment all pf.message(...) !!
Could you check if this also happens to you guys?
