Stuck in an interrupt?

Hi
Thanks for your very quick reply.
I have quickly changed the code to the following

ISR(TIMER1_OVF_vect)        // interrupt service routine that wraps a user defined function supplied by attachInterrupt
{
  TCNT1 = FST;            // preload timer with Fail Safe Time
  failSafe = HIGH;
}

But it still does the same!
