 		 #173979 - I think what Kai meant was /EA not EW
Responding to: ???'s previous message
The first thing you should do is to ensure that all the remaining program store is filled with NOP's. That way, if you've done something that sends it out into undefined code space, it will return to 0x0000. It might be a good idea to place a write to an external (diagnostic) flipflop (You can kludge one onto one of your boards just for verification) that drives an LED, letting you know it's out in the jungle. Those two operations will settle the matter of whether you've improperly managed your code.

That's where I'd start.
