This makes perfect sense.  Without a clock tick, you are not able to timeout.

When you say "reenabling interrupts", do you mean all potential interrupt 
sources?  My gut instinct says that you have an uninitialized interrupt
source that is happening.  Do you have a spurious interrupt handler in
your BSP to report an unexpected interrupt?

I don't know if there is a generic sh spurious interrupt handler like
there is for some other CPUs.  I think the m68k has a nice example of
one.


If I am misreading things, it could simply be that the clock tick
occurs once and is never cleared or setup properly to fire again.
