I suspect this issue is related to the issue reported in Bugzilla:

  http://bugs.ecos.sourceware.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1001798

You can confirm this by using the ecosadmin.tcl script at a bash prompt
to import your .epk file and verifying that the operation works. For
example:

   cd /opt/ecos/ecos-3.0/packages
   tclsh ecosadmin.tcl add icb_net.epk

These issues may well be related to each other. The eCos Configuration
Tool should not crash under any circumstances but it is possible that
your new package is triggering the crash in some way. Do you see these
crashes when your icb_net package is not loaded in your eCos configuration?
