I am testing some code that implements pin change interrupts, and as I do so I notice that what worked in Arduino-022 no longer works in Arduino 1.0. That is, my interrupt code contains a lot of Serial.print() and println() statements. At some random point fairly early in my tests, the Arduino seems to lock up. This means that the Serial data that I had been sending to analyze my interrupt code is no longer being sent, and the flashing of LED pin 13 no longer takes place, either. It is as if the CPU is deadlocked, it seems to me.
What sort of interference can I expect with interrupt code and the Serial.print() method in Arduino 1.0 that was not there in Arduino-022? I don't understand why it broke.
Below is my code, which uses the PinChangeInt library. Thanks.
#define PINMODE
#define FLASH
#include <PinChangeInt.h>
// This example demonstrates a configuration of 3 interrupting pins and 2 interrupt functions.
// All interrupts are serviced immediately, but one of the pins (pin 4) will show you immediately
// on the Terminal. The other function connected to 2 pins sets an array member that is queried in loop().
// You can then query the array at your leisure.
// This makes loop timing non-critical.
// Pins. We want to use pins from ports B, C and D. So choose wisely. Ports are show in
// this diagram of the ATmega328P chip. PD0 shows "Port D, pin 0". PC3 shows "Port C, Pin 3",
// PB2 shows "Port B, pin 2" and so on. The corresponding Arduino pins are in parentheses.
// So PB2 is Arduino pin D 10, for example.

I thought I was working incognito. Thanks for the reply, I will figure out a new way to do it.
