[chbot] Synco's reentrant chocolate fish

[Synco Reynders]

Thanks for your comments. The problem was not due to re-enterance, since the
interrupts are disabled in the ISR, (and the pulse-width was longer).
I have solved it by using the full 16bit timer and bashing the PWM (which
was also using the timer) by moving the output compare value. I'll hopefully
bring along the motor controller / explain to anyone interested at the next
meeting.
Cheers,
Synco
