Which is less than ideal because the compiler *always* has to preserve
all the registers that could possibly be destroyed by
interruptHandler().  If possible, always write the code directly into
the ISR.

The chances that this is really the case are about 1E-6. ;-)

As the thread subject is about assembly-C mix, it is much more likely
that your mix is the reason rather than the compiler-generated code
that has been used by millions of AVR-GCC users before.

You should probably have written the whole thing in C instead, as this
completely avoids the class of errors you are currently running into.
