Actually interrupts will be set to a different level as part of the 
context switch.  So
when you get to the idle task, they are reenabled.  You probably do not have
the interrupt handler installed.  As soon as the context switch restores 
the eflags
of the idle task, BAM the interrupt occurs with no handler.
