Yeah, and you'd really go looking thru 100s of 1000s of lines of source code
and spend long hours debugging the ICD2 interface only to find out you don't
know why it randomly flakes out either, right?  And Microchip hasn't noticed
or doesn't care about the problem and none of the engineers that have a lot
more knowledge of the ICD2 than you can possibly have never tried to find
and deal with the problems?  Then the ICD2 problems have to be on the host
side.  I actually suspect they have more to do with the ICD2 to chip
interface than they do with the host to ICD2 interface.

Methinks you are protesting on emotional or philosophical grounds without
any real substance.  Even if you think you have the knowledge and skill to
track down the problem, it's a long long way to go to avoid getting a
RealICE.
