Exception 3 is a mmu error.  At least the motorla_shared powerpc bsp's
use the mmu to create a flat memory model where accesses outside the
range will throw this exception- null pointers, corrupt pointers that
kind of thing.

This suggests some kind of bsp error.  Could the OP please post the
register dump?  Its often possible to find what was running when the
exception is thrown, and is also helpful to know if it always happens
in the same place.
