But when LVP is enabled ... anytime RB5/PGM goes HIGH ... it's just like taking MCLR/VPP to 13V.
If it's left floating, the PIC could be constantly entering Program Mode from input noise.
i have a habit of letting unused pins float...
Perhaps i should tie all pins to ground with a 100K resistor... thats a lot of resisters though...
having said that... i have some hardware on order so that i can use ICSP and ICD so perhaps i will do it when i solder up the new sockets...
