I have run into a similar situation with the RC. Try commenting out ALL of your printfs and see if you get the red light of death. Also, the processor hates the use of long data types (don't ask me why, but replacing all longs with ints magically made a program of ours work). I think that under certain circumstances the user code can corrupt the I2C datastream that links the user and master processor, confusing the master. It would probably be helpful to have the IFI I2C link's source code to figure out what is happening, but I don't think there is any way to obtain that!
As a side note, did you try protecting GPR14 (the old 8.2V bug fix)?
