Well, things continue to look bad here. I dug out my ICD2, and after
getting it connected and set up, it seems to have the same problem.

I guess now I'm looking at my device. I haven't hit the 100,000 cycle
programming limit (hah!). I'm not anxious to replace the PIC though as
it's a QFP. Also seems like a bit of waste of money. Then again, at
the moment I have nothing, so what's the point it keeping it the same.

The local Microchip office had a nice person answer the phone and
kindly told me that no one was there, and she wasn't sure when or if
anyone would be there. I was too mad to suggest that there must be a
way to contact them, otherwise they aren't really working at home,
they're just hanging out at home.

So, I guess my question is now...has anyone ever had a chip that
accepted a program and ran in debug mode, but refused to debug?

Grrrr.
