I have just been bitten by a problem that sounds very similar to this.
I was using the CCS C compiler with a PIC18LF252 and could not get the
interrupts to run. Examining the registers showed everything looked
"normal" and the overflow bit (it was a serial interrupt) was being set on
the second character sent.
After much comparing of files, etc. I found out it was the DEBUG fuse. For
some unknown reason, if the DEBUG fuse was set, I got no interrupts. When I
cleared the DEBUG fuse, recompiled, and loaded it again, everything worked
fine.
According to the part datasheet (even errata), the serial interrupt should
not have been affected by the DEBUG fuse. Apparently it is.

I've started tinkering with a PIC18F4680 (with CAN bus) using
microchips MPLAB C18 C compiler. I've been beating my head against a
problem for many hours now :evil: .
I can't get interrupts to work. I have tried, TMR0, TMR1 and INT0. I
have verified that TMRnIP, TMRnIE, TMRnIF and GIEH & IPEN are all
HIGH yet my ISR does not get run. If I clear TMRnIF in the main loop
TMRnIF is set again when the timer overflows so it appears the timer
is OK, the ISR just doesn't get run.
I have checked the disassembly and there is a goto in 0x08 (the high
pri interrupt vector) and my ISR at the address GOTOed.
Any suggestions what the issue may be?
Here is a section of my code :

42: PIE1bits.TMR1IE = 1;
000042 809D BSF 0xf9d, 0, ACCESS
43: TMR0H = 0; //clear timer
000044 6AD7 CLRF 0xfd7, ACCESS
44: TMR0L = 0; //clear timer
000046 6AD6 CLRF 0xfd6, ACCESS
46: INTCONbits.GIEH = 1; //enable
