Depends.  Sometimes on some targets, the trace from an ISR can
follow back through from the ISR to the interrupted task.  Do you
see any of the ISR entry code in the back trace?

If there is no hint of being in an ISR (bit in PSR?), then there is
something out of sync -- an ISR exit path which doesn't decrement
the count, code which thinks it is in the register but it is in
_ISR_Nest_level, or vice-versa.

The vectoring code is board dependent in your RTEMS version and
this was fragile.  It could be a very specific path in your BSPs
version of this code.
