While using any external resonator or crystal, make sure that the CKOPT 
bit is checked. This selects the "rail to rail" oscillator mode (AKA 
NORMAL!)  Otherwise, you are using a "vittoz" low power oscillator, and 
this can cause some VERY wierd problems, or work just fine with 1000 
units and fail miserably next week.
