I am not sure what this means - it could be a hidden race condition, the algorithm might need some jitter to work or it could still be a simulator issue.

Adding a pseudo-random delay to interrupts is probably not enough. 
Sometimes the atomic instructions are carried out with interrupts 
disabled. Would it be possible to add a pseudo-random delay to each of 
the instruction cycles per core?
