Check to make sure the start up code isn't writing over some of the
processor debug registers.  Debuggers get upset when they set
a particular mode and then you come behind them in software
and mess it up :-)  I've seen similar things happen with other
processors, and this has been the cause.  It is proper and necessary
to have a boot rom initialize these registers for normal operation,
but not when you are trying to use a debugger.  If you take out
such initialization for debugging, don't forget to put it back when
you ship the system! :-)
