I have found this in moe:
   GC_try_to_collect_inner():
   /src/l4/pkg/boehm_gc/contrib/alloc.c:404
   15c7a8:       e12fff37        blx     r7

Do u say JDB starts automatically, when the error occurs?
But typing 'lp <ENTER>' in the UART console, doesn't effect anything.
Do i have to add JDB via modules.list or something?

Yes, it runs for a while.
There are two L4-Task doing a protocol over IPC. Client sends a message 
and Server answers. Then Client fails, when perparing his next message 
(no ipc-functions involved).

Only on real HW: ARMv7 Cortex A9.
Qemu doesn't work on my Debian. The window stays black.
Maybe i'll try on an other Linux.



Have a nice day!
