I received a reply from Microchip to my request for clarification on the = "certain conditions' mentioned in the 18F452 B3 errata sheet, issues 5 = and 6 (the 0x4000 boundary problem).=20 Response summary; The behavior exists for particular code sequences at a = voltage/frequency/temperature point and the point depends on the = particular silicon lot. Test a sample set of each lot to see if you = experience the problem over your intended range of use. The next revision of the silicon (C0) fixes all of the B3 Issues and = will be available in a few months. An interim fix for the 'panel = boundary' erratum (I presume this means the 0x4000 problem) will be = available sooner.
