Hopefully you weren't calling it yourself in YOUR code.  If so,
you were calling it for the second time.   It is called
automatically as part of initializing the system call infrastructure.
Specifically it is called as part of rtems_libio_init which initializes
the set of file descriptors.

If this is the problem, it is a new one to me.
