Still it looks strange. You only ever write this default value to the
register. Putting this register write under an if() seems bogus since
the same value will be in the register the next time this code is
executed. It looks like you should move this register write to some
initialization function.

So isn't the same unwanted interrupt then just delayed until you enable
the interrupts again? Is this something that really happens or just
something you think that might happen?
