Also, migrate to ICSP in-circuit programming!  One of the reasons to take a PIC in and out all the time is to program it.  I had endless problems with broken leads until ICSP came along, now I pop in one PIC and never take it out again.  I am guessing you are programming this part by taking it out.....right?
