Oops. Oh, well. There are still some things you can do. The first is to
change your switch. If you don't use much more than 50 mA you can try a
switch with gold crosspoint contacts. You don't need the gold, but the
mechanism of these switches is usually of higher quality, with more
attention to the details of the switching transition. You could also
contact your switch manufacturer for advice, which I'm sure they'ed be
happy to give. As a last resort, try increasing the cap on the power
input (you do have a cap on the PIC side of the switch, yes?).
