Josh,
   Make sure that your compiler is not the culprit.  Often times it
will "optimize" out writes to dummy variables or multiple writes to
the same variable.  Try lowering the optimization level and/or verify
that the C code gets compiled.  Declaring the variable as volatile may
take care of the problem.
