rtems_interrupt_is_in_progress() not working.

OK, I understand now.
Adding the check rtems_interrupt_is_in_progress() in both the task and the
timer ISR results in the task returning FALSE, and in the ISR it returns
TRUE.
I think this is expected behavior.

But, I suspect that my problem is caused by rtems_interrupt_is_in_progress()
being called from within a genuine hardware interrupt - not a timer
interrupt.
Does that make a difference?
