	The 0F indicates a system error, and the "000D" is the error number;
in this case, it's 13, which indicates a press of the programmer's interrupt
button.

	More than likely, your switch has gotten stuck or is on in such a
position that it occasionally closes the internal contact. Try removing it
and see what happens.
