I've just run into what seems to be a very similar situation with a development version of the eCos kernel. After a little investigation, I found that the HTTPD stack size was too small when running DHCP (it worked using a static IP address). By default this stack is set to 2K, and it really needs to be more like 5K.

To change this in configtool, go to "Basic network framework"->"HTTP Daemon" and set "HTTPD thread stack size" to 5120.

To measure stack usage, go to "eCos kernel"->"Thread-related options" and select "Measure stack usage". The stack usage information will then be available through the web server monitor pages (once you've got them working).

Hope that solves your problem!
