There seem to be quite a few people up late in the night for coding :-)

Sorry, but this can have many reasons, and you didn't give enough information
for a really helpful answer.

For one, it may be a compiler problem. Second, it can be a timing problem.
Unoptimized code is a lot slower, which may give problems depending on your
code. Third, it may be a problem with the data exchange between your interrupt
handler and the main program. And fourth, it may be something else:-)

I've written at least one C program with a non trivial interrupt handler in
assembler, and it works without problems with -Oirs. So I don't think it's a
general problem with interrupt handlers and C code.
