RC randomly resets or goes into program mode
As the topic says, our RC randomly resets or goes into program mode. I was able to isolate the problem to a group of printf()'s executing every program loop, but it seems to be happening again even with those gone.

We are running Timer 2 to run the ADC (only channel is a 50Hz sampling gyro), Timer 3 for an ultrasonic range finder, and 3 hardware interrupts (2 128ppr encoders and the range finder)

Any ideas? It may be our code is taking too long to execute, but I was under the impression the master processor would totally shut down the system if this happened. And even if that happened, what would cause program mode to trigger?
