The most likely cause of this error is that the kernel and the kernel heap
are being positioned too far apart - they must be within 64 MiB, and if an
app greater than that is somehow being put down in between this error will
result.

How are defining the app in the build system? eg: are you defining your own
SConscript, or leveraging the Iguana example app framework, or hacking
weaver.xml directly?

Could you post your weaver.xml? That would allow us to pinpoint the problem
exactly.

Best regards,
