s'OK.  Last nights experiments with new socket revealed that
i had the breakout area pinout flipped by 180 deg.  Blinkie
blinks.  It turns out that all the variatons for
initialization work, even the old tris porta(as long as rp0
is NOT simultaneously cleared)
So i'm back out of the ditch, and back to the original
problem which is still patiently waiting for me, but now i am
armed with a much better strategy for initilization of ports
and breaking in new processors.  time to fry more parts....
