Ok, sounds goo.d

Your code is a bit confusing to me, as I do not see how it ever can
print more than 2 lines and I'd suspect that all numbers are the same
(or do you let it wrap?).
Concerning the sti(), it is called before measure() (before Delay::init()
is called). So maybe interrupts go off again. Could you check at various
points starting from Delay::init() what Proc::interrupts() returns?
