Hey, I have noticed that when I execute exit(0) too many times, and then writing to the serial port the data doesn't get to the other side correctly. I for instance send the string "HAS 0", and then the other side will sometimes receive it correctly, and sometimes as "HA 0", or "HASHAS 0", or "HAS 0 HAS 0", or "HAHAS 0", etc. This can be reproduced everytime by exiting exit(0), letting it reboot, executing again, about 10-20 times. Then it starts writing data in this way. It's not really something that happens in production, but still, why would it do this? It happens with all models I've tried it with (all being 18Fxxxx) Quintin Beukes -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
