Oh, that's simple:
1) you could use debug_printf() or _sPrintf() instead of printf() - 
that will both be redirected to serial output as well.
2) you could redirect the output from /dev/null to /dev/dprintf in the 
boot script (one of the first lines after the functions)

Anyway, does the app_server crash or just lock up? The latter would 
hint it's a locking problem. In that case, pressing F12 and use the KDL 
can help, too (to see who's waiting for which sem, and who owns it, 
...) - just be prepared that benaphore style lockers make this output 
harder to interprete.
