Have you killed any black cats lately??

Have you checked the flash contents, maybe using the
disassembly view or directly with the memory view?

Never had so many disasters as you have with development
system...you MUST HAVE killed some black cats...

Again, I can offer to run the code in one of my boards
with my half crippled Dragon if you like.

Yup. The flash is what it should be, IF I can trust the what the ICE
is telling me.

Yeah, this is part of the mystery.  This particular computer has only
ever been used on this one AVR project. It's a new machine.

It would probably be fine.
The problem is that most of the time, it's fine for me too.. Till
things go south, and it might do this for hours, or days.  I've seen
this since about the spring of 2001/2002.

With a broken mirror, while underneath a ladder, because they slipped
on some spilled salt.

I uploaded to the files directory, one of a couple files I've sent to Atmel.
This shows more or less typical studio behaviour, when it's in one of
its' "moods".

I have others, but they were >5M and I can't upload them to the group.

Look in the dir called "WTF"
