SCK low ---before--- RESET

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The AVR ISP documentation...
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc0943.pdf

...states that... "SCK ... Immediately after the Reset goes active, this pin 
will be driven to zero by the programmer."

The opposite is performed in start_pmode...

  // RESET ---not--- active
  pinMode(RESET, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(RESET, HIGH);

  // SCK driven low
  pinMode(SCK, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(SCK, LOW);

  delay(50);

  // RESET active
  digitalWrite(RESET, LOW);

  delay(50);

If the target is driving SCK high when start_pmode is entered, this code 
creates a short-circuit for 50 ms.  More than enough time to damage both 
processors.
