For sure!  There may have been a cleaner solution to my original problem
anyway: I was trying to
come up with a simple/cheap battery monitor on a very low-power, long-life
circuit.  I was using a bargain reset-monitor chip as a low-battery
indicator (reading it's output) but wanted to sleep through it's reset
period, since what I was after was its state after that point.  And seemed a
waste of power to have the PIC hang around all that time (560ms), but if the
PIC is going to turn the device off before it can read the output, I'll keep
it awake...
