This will happen whenever the scheduler is activated exactly between the to instructions. I'm not sure, but I think such a situation could generate anomalies in the normal flow. As someone pointed out there, I think cout is not thread safe, if you still use it. Moreover, if you use jtag uart as standard output, I guess the interface would get stuck after some time, because of lot of print data under fast task switching
