This will not work with JTAG. Enabling this adds a couple of functions
to the gdb stub to allow access to thread info. But when using JTAG
the gdb stub is not used, it directly reads/writes to memory and CPU
registers.

gdb con the serial port can probably decode this message. It is
probably the output of your program bug mangled in gdb format.
