There is a define at the top of the bdbuf.c file called 
RTEMS_BDBUF_TRACE. I suggest you set it to 1. There is also a variable 
called rtems_bdbuf_tracer which you can also set to true and you will 
get a trace from the code. The rtems_bdbuf_tracer variable lets you boot 
your code and do what ever is required then you set it to true and run 
the failing case and get just that part of the trace.
