U-Boot 1.3.2 is more on a year old. You really should use current code
instead.

So the address counter wrpas around  at  the  end  of  the  (32  bit)
memory,  which  means  your image is too big and/or your TEXT_BASE is
too high - you might want to check your memory  map  in  genral,  and
especially  the  setting  of TEXT_BASE in your board/<name>/config.mk
file.

Best regards,
