I think that's normal. You forgot to include <avr/signals.h>, so the
"SIG_OVERFLOW0" name was unknown at compile time, and as stated in the
avr-libc documentation, this does not generate a warning and simply
defaults the ISR to the bad interrupt vector, which by default generates
a reset. In the code of your ISR, you put a "return 0" (why?), so the
"reti" instruction that the compiler generated, never gets executed,
hence the interrupt flag doesn't get cleared, therefore it instantly
executes the ISR egain, hence a reset, and so on, forever.

Why did you put a "return" in your ISR ? Am I missing something very
subtle ???


HTH,
