Race condition in Listen shape

Hi!

I have a listen shape with two branches. The first branch starts with a
receive shape and the second one with a delay shape.

The listen shape is placed inside a loop, and it seems like it can be the
case that, at some point, both of the two branches are ready to execute. I
mean that the receive shape has a message "waiting" for it and the delay
shape has reached its timeout value...

In such a scenario, which branch will be executed?

Thanks for all comments and ideas!
