Ahha! I would never tought of. I know the fact, that some of the instructions behave some other ways as it written in books, but I did not realized this fact has to do anything with my problem. BTW clearing works very well... :)

Been there, did that... ;)))
In my case: some of the programs checking for interrupt in a very short time after clearing the interrupt flags. (Short this time means in the same scanline. Maybe Icicle did the same, I don't remember, it was more than 2 years ago.) Because of this I had to add some kind of
"interrupt warning" just before of the line, which one causes the raster interrupt. I can't call back the details, but I can check it out, if anybody needs.
