Why program switches from thumb to ARM

Hi Everyone

I've got beginner question (hope this is right place to do it, if not please direct me). I 've prepared whole environment for my STM32F103VCT6 Cortex-M3 processor using Sourcery G++ Lite, Eclipse and Segger GBD Server. I have problem with debugging, for simplest possible program it is available and working, but for more "complicated" like new function it stops. My compilation flags are:

C_FLAGS := -c -ggdb -mcpu=cortex-m3 -mthumb

my script linker:

MEMORY
{
   FLASH : ORIGIN = 0x08000000, LENGTH = 256K
   RAM  : ORIGIN = 0x20000000, LENGTH = 48K
}

SECTIONS
{
   .text :
   {
      KEEP(*(.interrupt_vector))
      *(.text)
   } > FLASH
   
   .data :
   {
      _data_begin_ = .;
      *(.data)
      _data_end_ = .;
   } > FLASH
   
   .bss :
   {
      _bss_begin_ = .;
      *(.bss)
      _bss_end_ = .;
   } > RAM
   
   _stack_size_ = 1024;
   _stack_end_ = ORIGIN(RAM) + LENGTH(RAM);
   _stack_begin_ = _stack_end_ - _stack_size_;
   
   ._stack :
   {
      . = . + _stack_size_;
   } > RAM
}

ENTRY(handler_reset)

my startup code:

extern unsigned long _stack_end_;

typedef void (*interrupt_routine)( void );
void handler_reset( void );
void handler_default( void );

// vector interrupt table
__attribute__ ( ( section( ".interrupt_vector" ) ) )
interrupt_routine routines[] =
{
(void*) &_stack_end_,
handler_reset,
handler_default,
// ... itd...
};


void handler_reset( void )
{
main();
}

void handler_default( void )
{
while ( 1 )
{
}
}

and my program (working):

int main( void )
{
int  a = 3;
int  b = 2;
int  c = 3 + 2;

a = c;

while( 1 )
{
  // infinite loop
}

return 0;
}

and my program (no working, added aa() function):

void aa()
{
}

int main( void )
{
int  a = 3;
int  b = 2;
int  c = 3 + 2;

a = c;
aa();

while( 1 )
{
  // infinite loop
}

return 0;
}

I've got message from Segger debugger:

Setting breakpoint @ address 0x08000034, Size = 2, BPHandle = 0x0023
Starting target CPU... WARNING: T-bit of XPSR is 0 but should be 1. Changed to 1. ...Target halted (PC = 0xF04FAF00)
Reading all registers
Removing breakpoint @ address 0x08000034, Size = 2

Does it mean that my program switches from thumb to arm? If so, why it is done?
