Lpc2000

I found the problem.  The DC supply had a false start. For the 500mS 
or so before it would ramp-up to 3.3V, it would wobble around .5-
1V.  This was due to leakage through a 232 driver as well as an 
idosyncracy of the DC supply.  During the wobble, Reset was hard 
low, so I'm suprised the voltage on Vcc mattered.  Putting a 1k pull-
down on the 3.3V to ensure when the 3.3V is OFF, the Vcc of the 
LPC2132 goes to all the way to ground, fixed the problem.  
Live and learn.

to the P0.14 Pin and a i grounded via a jumper. Then in the reset 
pin i used the same 10k pull up with an external reset switch it 
worked properly.
