That last email was sent before I was finished...

This assumes that the interrupt stack can be put on top of the current
user stack.  If this is not the case, you need to also save r1 (the
user's stack pointer) change to the system interrupt stack pointer, then
call the C-function to handle the interrupt, "void _int_isr(void)".  The
_int_isr() function should return, so that this routine can restore
registers and do the return from interrupt instruction.
