I found the problem to be in the arguments received by the handler 
(which include the function pointer).

I am installing the handler using rtems_interrupt_handler_install, and I 
am passing two arguments to the handler (which receives void*) through a 
struct:

struct handler_arguments
{
   int pin_number;

   void (*handler) (void);
} h_args;

I call rtems_interrupt_handler_install and send the handler arguments 
with &h_args. In the handler function I dereference the void pointer with:

void handler (void* arg)
{
   struct handler_arguments* h_args;

   h_args = (struct handler_arguments*) arg;

What happens is that if I call the handler function myself the function 
receives the arguments as they were sent, but if the handler is called 
by an interrupt then it does not receive what it was supposed to.

  I have looked at the rtems_interrupt_handler_install and could not 
understand why that happens.

No error, just hanged. I am using the Raspberry Pi BSP.
