The sched module behaves just like mine version because
it uses almost the same code. My observations include the
sched module as well. Check it's source code. It is flawed:
it calls the sleep method and while it sleeps (presumably
for a long time) all newly scheduled events are on hold.
See my example in original post.

My code solves this problem (or so it looks to me right now).
