BDM locks up occasionally on overnight tests

[Joe Novosel]

I've had the same problem.
It was electrical noise resetting the board.  When I turned off my lights 
(florescent) sometimes my target board / bdm locked up.  I'm using the 5 chip 
bdm board with a 68360 board.

I tried starting the test again (with the lights off) and it ran overnight 
without any problem.

Hope this helps.

Joe
