I know about the errata concerning faulty counting. However, I am seeing another effect which is that occasionally TMR1L is down by 0x40, 0x80, or 0xC0. T1CKI is slow (10 Hz), 50% duty cycle, clean. I'm counting for a minute, and expect to see 6000. I'm going to try reading until I get two identical readings, and soak overnight, but a) as a workaround, this makes the errata effect more probable, and b) if the problem is in the counter not the reading thereof, the data will still be duff. However, by the morning I will know which it is. I did wonder if the compiler (or I) [CCS PCM] was resetting the bits, possibly due to getting paging wrong. The value I read goes into a static variable, not (consciously) overlaid with anything else though.
