[U-Boot-Users] Stack pointer corruption on 8541 - short version.

[Michael]

Seems like I found the cause of the problem - it was the JTAG I use.
It somehow corrupts the stack pointer in L1D cache. Running without
the JTAG, or alternatively relocating the stack pointer to SRAM,
results in normal execution.
