I'm sure that you have already done this, but have you
checked the cable attached to the BDM port?

I had a problem one time with erratic BDM connection
only to find that my cable was the problem.

Thanks Randall for the good suggestion. Unfortunately
that didn't 
work any better. I was able to quantify the problem a
bit more 
though...I can get a debug session to work if I leave
the target 
power off for at least 10 minutes. Also, I was able to
program a 
simple LED flashing program into the internal flash,
and it works 
every time no matter how short the power cycle is, so
this is 
limited to a BDM problem.
