    Are you using a breadboard??? any chance that there's faulty/loose contact on?

    Any chance you have some splitted +/- tracks. mmm maybe a picture would help to explain better
    <table><tr><td></td><td>What i mean is that sometime the supply line on some breadboard brands
    have a break in the middle of their +/- line.

    On the picture, you observe that red and blue line are not continuous,
    This said, don't use it as a reference...


    What i suggest is just do a continuity test on each breadboard + and - tracks between
    each edge (say point 1 and 57).

    might be one cause here...</td></tr></table>

    PCB and DIP socket? any chance the Vss pin is broken underneath the socket... yeah it happen...

    Are you living close to Area 51, Hangar 18?

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
