Bob, et al.
 
Thanks again to everyone who responded to my query...

A fairly low-value resistor is sometimes placed in series with a 32 
KHz crystal to reduce the drive level. Most 32 KHz crystals don't 
require (and some can't tolerate) as much drive as higher frequency 
crystals usually do. If the processor has a configuration setting to 
reduce the level (like the PIC micros do), the series resistor is 
usually omitted.


Regards, Bob
