You did not write what you are actually doing at the time of this event, and
what you are doing it with (emulator, simulator, controller).  From your
explanation it sounds like a transmission.  If it is, BF is doing what it's
supposed to do.  Since you're having a problem with this, I assume you are
receiving data.  If you are receiving, BF should be zero while you are receiving
the current byte.  If this is not the case, the problem is most likely somewhere
else.  If you're using the slave-mode, you must make sure the transmission
before this byte is really doing what it's supposed to.  This is possible to
check by reading the status-bit for the SSP-module.  The UA and D/A flag is
typical sources of this kind of behaviour.  Also, if you're using an emulator,
make sure the SSPBUF register is not present in any watch-window (just to make
sure that it is never read before your code wants to).
