Another thing you can try on the 852 is to change the processor frequency
via the PLPRCR register.  If slowing down the clock helps, don't assume
that you have a timing problem though - these PLL circuits are notoriously
twitchy, and it could be noise (or, more properly, resonant frequencies in 
your
layout)

P.S. Hopefully you have a hardware debugger - you can halt the processor
and change this register on the fly.  Same with cache - no sense compiling
these changes, just do them manually.
