Although, this didn't help in my particular case it led me to try
different Bochs related timer/clock parameters.  Changing the
value of ips from 900000 to 1000000 caused the problem to go
away.  Values of ips of 900000 or lower cause the latest
RTEMS executables to lock up.  Older RTEMS executables (from the
contrib grub floppy) work fine with lower value of ips.

Thanks for the help!
