In a post on November 12, I described an experiment in which an ATmega16-16PC ran with a 15.36 MHz crystal with a wide variety of fuse setting, including CKOPT not programmed. The experiment included long traces and lots of stray capacitance at the crystal pins and I later extended it to include a large imbalance in the load capacitors. It always worked. So, it seems to me that the crystal circuit is not really so sensitive. I withhold an opinion about those plug-in breadboards, though. I would not use one myself.
