Nope ... although I am using wire-wrap wire in this
circuit.  I tried several different capacitors with no
success ... although it did manage to incorrectly read
back a different value at 0000h.  Instead of 3FFFF it
reported 3F00.

I think it might be a noise issue though.  I shall
continue to try and fix this.  Hopefully I don't fry
this chip cuz it's soldered directly into my prototype
board and it would be a huge pain to replace it.  I
really need to get some provisions like 40 pin IC
sockets from digikey.

If anyone can think of anything else, it would be much
appreciated.

Thanks, Peace
