Issue with PWM and delay()

Hello, I'm writing this simple PWM led controller program and it looks like whenever I start using analogWrite(), the delay() function stops working. I'm using a breaboard version of the arduino with the internal osc. set at 8Mhz (with no divider) with a makefile (both CPU_FREQ and F_CPU are set at 8000000 using -D). Fuses are set as such: L:0xE2, H:0xDD, E:0xFF (0x07 for avrdude not to mess up).

I really don't get it Ô.o

Any ideas?

Here's the code
main.h

I've just tested it and I get the same behavior on the Arduino board (using both 0009 and 0010!) :S

EDIT: Ok serial also seems to stop working when I start the PWM!!!

Ok apparent I'm a moron...

for (rearLightIncrement=255;rearLightIncrement>=0;rearLightIncrement--)
      {
            analogWrite(pinRearLight, rearLightIncrement);
            delay(10);
      }

since I had >=0 when it go to zero is seems like it tried to take one away again and that messed up the whole thing!
