Hmmm...  just a thought:

The memory size info in the Makefile and friends for vxWorks is set up like 
crap [That is, it is in all the BSPs I have had to hack on.]  If it is not 
set right (and recall that it has to be set in more than one place -- just to 
make sure you screw it up a few times first) the loader may fail.

It has been a while since I looked into that part of the init code, but I have
been leaving it set to 4MB for the 167 and letting things get a little
fragmented.  If it is set too high, or if the multiple copies of that config
are not set identically (I believe there is doc on that cruft in the Makefile)
gawd knows what could happen.
