That's very odd. As you say, cyg_drv_interrupt_create() isn't meant to 
really _do_ anything, only cyg_drv_interrupt_attach() is. You should still 
be able to single step through that code even with ints disabled if you 
set a breakpoint before it. Check that the interrupt vector is being set 
up in the right place.

Enable CYGPKG_INFRA_DEBUG which will (among other things) show if you get 
any unhandled interrupts.

Another option is something tangential like you are scribbling over memory 
(and that memory _does_ contain something relevant for handling other 
interrupts). Check all the locations you are passing in are valid. 
Similarly check you aren't running out of stack.

I take it when you run with GDB it's not actually stopping with a SEGV or 
SIGBUS then?
