Like Eric, I am not fixing your problem but make sure the
variable is volatile.  Otherwise, the task code may not see
it updated.

Also verify again that before you start polling on the variable
that interrupts are enabled on the processor (SR) and any PIC
if this has one.

Since you are forcing the interrupt, is there any chance, this
is edge-triggered or something that tying it high doesn't show?

Or that you could be getting it continuously and not able to
get back to the task?  Can the ISR do something you can see
like blink an LED?

Sorry for the random stream of consciousness but you
may or may not be triggering the interrupt right, have
enabled it completely, getting to the ISR handler, or
be getting continuous interrupts.  All are possibilities.
