I'm not familiar with the compiler (CCS?), but the syntax suggests that
the original code is a bit test on RB0 and therefore quite valid.

To the OP: If you are certain it's not a watchdog issue, then persuade
your compiler to produce an assembly listing so you can check if the
code the compiler is producing matches your source.  It's a very small
program so should be easy enough to follow. Post it to the list if it
dosen't make sense.
