Well this case here actually should not happen in the first place.

Jobs depend on their device, so as long as there are jobs there should 
also be a reference to the scheduler.

What could be is that you have allocated a scheduler instance 
dynamically, but even then you should first tear down all entities and 
then the scheduler.
