I'm getting the exact same behaviour when booting from GRUB when compiling
with -DNEW_INTERUPT_HANDLING. When I compile without it, the run ends with
something like:
************00000009***************
I've done System.out.println's such that I know decaf is initializing (ie
the constructor is run) but I haven't had time to delve any deeper.
