The 18F6620's RESET instruction is supposed to simulate a MCLR reset,
but it doesn't seem to be doing that.

I'm looking at a program that, on reset, communicates with another
device over the UART.  If the reset is triggered by execution of a
RESET instruction, the program fails: no serial communication occurs.
If that instruction is replaced with an infinite loop that lets the
watchdog timer reset the device, everything works fine.

This project isn't mine -- I'm just trying to help a friend -- so I
haven't seen enough to say for sure that the RESET instruction is
operating incorrectly.  I'm going to try to come up with a better
test... Has anyone else seen this unexpected behavior?
