If I use the LEDs to display the contents of the WDTCR (watch dog control 
register) I see that bit 3 (WDE) is a one. All other bits are zero which does 
offer an explanation for the 12mS as you suggest. 

I was thinking that my fuse bit settings were disabling the watchdog. I may 
not have that correct. It is possible that I was mislead by the contents of 
the MCUCSR (no watchdog reset bit) -- I don't understand that either.

You may have provided the clue I need. I'll pursue this further and post what 
I learn.

Thanks,
Steve
