It is pretty normal to see duplicated numbers in a fork test - 
I observed it too, since counter is incremented without locks
we can catch situation when it is incremented simultaneously 
on both processors, the latest version of the fork connector
from Guillaume contains processor id in the message and per cpu counters, 
so one can destinguish messages which sequence numbers will flow
in a very similar way now.
