Duh.  Trying to send 400kB to this list is way beyond spec.

Russell, you are once again shorting out the list's intelligence filter.
Please stop doing that.

No, it's just common sense.

You'd think anyone that knows how to spell PIC would understand why that's =
a
dumb idea.

When you measured the resistor, was the board powered down for long enough
so that any residual charge couldn't be fooling the ohmmeter?  To test your
theory, you can temporarily parallel the resistor in question with another
one just by holding its leads accross it.  This won't hurt your chance of
getting a replacement since you're not actually altering the board and they
have no way of knowing you did this.

While a misloaded part can happen, it is rather unlikely to make it all the
way to the end customer.  If it really is a misloaded resistor, then most
likely a whole batch of boards have the same error.  Chances are that they
are already aware of the problem.  If so, they will probably exchange your
board for a new one without fuss.
