Ah , I see, the voltage during "power off" stays at about 240mV
and doesn't go to a flat zero. OK.

Well, the BOR should take care of that, doesn't it ? And you would
get a normal POR when the voltage on Vdd is high enough (over
the BOR level).

This is so low so I think that the PIC with do a POR even
with BOR disabled.

B.t.w, what are the "associated start up problems" you was
talking about ? Tell us, and it might be easier to understand
what's going on...

Another thing that *might* be a problem is a to slow rise
of Vdd, but I think that BOR will take care of that, if enabled.
