        I don't know if you're overdriving the crystal, but I sure like
the resonators I get from muRata!  They have built-in capacitors and are
characterized for different controllers.  They've done all the
calculations and testing.  You've just gotta hook them up!  Have a look
at their web site in Japan (there's a link there from the US site).
There they have a script that searches for resonator part numbers based
on the controller you're using.
        I've now used thousands of 16 MHz resonators on 16c74a.  They
work great!  They're cheap!  They take less board space than a crystal
and capacitors!
