This means that RedBoot crashed during it's initialization.  Obviously a lot got
running, hence GDB being able to run.

In order to help more, you'll have to tell us:
  What platform (architecture, board)?
  What tools did you use to build with?
  What extra options (if any) you selected?

RedBoot only uses the HAL diag I/O routines.
