Hi, Oleg.

That's strange.  I tried it in a soft IOC on Mac OS X and it worked fine.

Environment:
* Processor: 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo
* OS: Mac OS X 10.5.6
* EPICS 3.14.10 (+patches)
* SEQ 2.0.12
* GCC: 4.0.1
* GCC optimization level: -03

What version of EPICS, SEQ, and GCC are you using?

Does the Linux computer have more than one processor/core?  What
compiler optimization level are you using?  Just in case there is some
kind of compiler optimization problem where it is incorrectly reordering
instructions, what happens if you recompile your SNL program and soft
IOC with compiler optimizations turned off (i.e. -O0)?
