Opt is still the default scheduler.  AFAIK entry is still an
experimental one.  You have to actively chose to use something beside
opt, so why are you choosing entry ?

It's possible that it can happen with opt, but it's a lot less likely
since it gets more testing and creates less threads.

I'll leave this to someone who actually has written a scheduler :)
