Yes, if you make a call to a [sync] entry method from a non-[threaded] entry
method, the caller will not block as intended, so if your program relies on
the blocking behavior for correctness then it will be erroneous.

Hi folks,

Do I understand it correctly that sync entry methods should always only
be called from threaded entry methods? Do I invite random errors when
this is not so?

Thanks,
Jozsef
