My battery powered 16C71 application is experiencing startup
problems.  Every tenth or so time when I switch on power to the
circuit, it just wouldn't start up.  I've got a watchdog implemented
and I am enabling the startup timer.   Could the fact that I am
enabling the startup timer have something to do with the problem?  I
remember reading something about the relationship between the startup
timer and slow rising supply voltages and some sort of problem
associated with this, but I can not for the life of me remember
exactly what it was.  I even tried using the PIC16C711 with brownout
protection, but that also didn't seem to help.  Any advice would
really be appreciated.
