Well, I never really noticed problems with interrupts enabled/disabled,
it's a jtag (i.e. HW supported) debugger after all, it should not be
impacted by interrupts.
On the other hand, what happens quite often is that the program continues
 without reaching any breakpoint or something similar ...
You can try to use the command  "disassemble" to see assembly and 
"stepi" to step
instruction by instruction. Notice the "i" stepi has a different 
behavior than "step".
Using "display /i $pc"  will display the next instruction at each step 
making it
possible to keep track of what's happening (including jumps to 
interrupts handlers) ...

hope this helps
