Well I first saw this effect while running on the hardware, using the 
dragon, and replicated it in the simulator to eliminate any possible 
faults in the dragon rider (as it's a newly soldered kit, and I don't 
much trust it yet). It manifested the same in both environments.

I'm using JTAG with dragon; does anyone have data to the effect that 
this sort of glitch is jtag specific, ie one of the other debug 
interfaces might behave differently? I would think using simulator would 
eliminate that variable.

I thought of trying 5, and may have to, but they made that one dependent 
on .net framework 4, which will not install on win2k, so only the xp 
machine runs that. I had hoped to be able to run the same toolchain at 
bench and desk.  Why they chose to restrict the next version that way I 
don't know, but they can do whatever they want without my permission. :( 
If I'm stuck using 5, then that suxxorz, as I'll have to do most of my 
coding at the bench, rather than the more comfortable desk place. :(
