urgent: interrupt problem please help

[cwmaddy]

I am using PICBASIC16F776A for an DTMF decoding project.
I am using external interrupt to detect tones ie INT0 pin. If I try to press tones too fast , the program hangs and starts after some delay. Or it just goes out of main execution loop and just interrupt is detected. sometimes program restarts.
Can anyone please help me debug this problem

I have taken precautions with interrupts like resetting the flag at the end of ISR.
I am saving context on interrupt and allowing picbasic to handle memory allocations( so i need not look at paging bits and corresponding context saves)

I would appreciate any helpin debugging this code

I would appreciate any helpin debugging this code

Code? Where's the code?

urgent word in subject is due to my flustration of not being able to debug this since last few days and time deadline of project

The interrupt problem seems to be solved.I guess it was due to large amount of code in interrupt
I am new to picbasic environment.Can anyone please let me know about the programming styles that are used in pic basic, any link on RTOS for pic basic?

[mackrackit]

Programming styles? Like the discussion here?

Or to indent or not to indent?

RTOS...What do you have in mind?
