Thought a task returning was my problem but wasn't. Was just hitting a 
rtems_panic (I did not see message on console, duh) and stack in 
debugger showed c_rtems_main() had returned (just like init() looked 
before I set it to delete itself before it can return). Anyhow, thanks 
for info on tasks returning.
