I'm not desperately trying to extens QCoreApplication lifetime. I need it  
for that reason that Log is singleton and uses QObjects. So Log have to be  
destructed before QCoreApplication.

It's normal practice when using singletons in Qt apps. It works well in  
other my application.

But in this test it crashes. However in another app I use GUI, so there  
QApplication instead.

You prompted the idea that I need flush() every time when writing  
something. For test I did it. And now application doesn't crashes at exit  
and writes to the log. Hmm. It's strange.
