remote serial protocol - gdbserver

My wild guess appears to be correct ...

I'm guessing that 2874008c is the PC in little-endian byte order.  It's 
just stepped the target into mmUserPrint.

It's pulled the target's registers looking for the "link-register" which 
should contain the return address.

and then sets a breakpoint at that return-address.  For some reason GDB 
think's that's zero (bad packet? bad gdb?).

BTW: "b0935e8c" is a bogus return value for "$m0,2,#fb", only two bytes 
were requested but four were returned, which is wrong (at present).
