I usually put a counter in such a routine to know if it has ever been called.
Makes easier to expose latent bugs.

What I have done in other parts, when I have the space, is have the vectors 
jump to a call.  The call then calls the same interrupt catcher cod for all 
vectors.  Then in the interrupt catcher you can examine the stack to see what 
was pushed to find out how how you got there.   You also need a return after 
the calls or pop that return address from the stack.  Not sure that all of  
this can be done on the AVR?
