Console prints messages out of order with Multicore Rendering enabled

[essbuh]

With Multicore Rendering enabled, the console can occasionally print messages out of order.

For example:

] find client "cl_ent_absbox" "cl_ent_bbox" client client cheat cheat

• Displays the client's absbox for the entity under the crosshair.
• Displays the client's bounding box for the entity under the crosshair. "cl_ent_rbox" client cheat
• Displays the client's render box for the entity under the crosshair.
• Find and list all client entities with classnames that contain the specified substring. Format: cl_find_ent

"cl_find_ent" "cl_find_ent_index" client client cheat cheat

• Display data for clientside entity matching specified index. Format: cl_find_ent_index

This does not seem to happen with multicore rendering disabled.

Shouldn't this be posted in Source-1-Games instead? I've reported this issue back in 2009 and it was only fixed in L4D/L4D2. This is what I've been told for OB engine:

I'm looking at it.  It isn't an easy fix - the code that fixed it wasn't a bug fix for this but a rewrite of some low level logging systems.  I'll see if there is something simpler we can do to address it but we can't use the l4d code.

I think it'd get more attention here Anakin, it's pretty ridiculous that the console managed to get this broken in the first place.

Worst case scenario, multi-threading should be removed from the logging system as it's clearly broken.

Unfortunately this is still beyond the scope of what we're fixing in the Orange Box codebase.
