peter,
to clarify what i said earlier,
WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD; // Stop WDT
was the fourth line in a setup fn called as the first line in main.
moving the register assignment itself to the first line of main did not
change the behavior. but 32 ms is a long time, so i wouldn't expect
moving it back in time < 1 us would make a difference.
as i mentioned earlier, the code and the build are dirt-simple. i will
file a bug report so someone can take a closer look.
thanks,
steve
