I think I found the problem with altboot!

It is not the compiler, although gcc 4.1.3 seemed to hide the bug
a little better, but a bug which had always been there in altboot and
could have been the source for multiple instabilities:

We had forgotten to disable interrupts when starting altboot! This may
have some unpleasant effects, as U-Boot's exception handlers are still
in place.

The new version seems rock-solid. Please try it:
