Some early versions of the GP32 did have a bug in the
undervoltage circuit. Look for the errata*** at the
freescale website.

Do one or more times masserase with a programmer, usually the
chip works again.
There is some cryptic information in the data***/Electrical
Specifications about odd limits in the programming/erasing cycles.

On the topic of 68HC08 bugs: has anyone got the I2C-bus module
on the AP working with lets say an external serial EEPROM ?
