Can you have a look with oscilloscope at battery voltage that is reaching your micro board? I guess, you will see nasty dips causing some brown-out condition.

Remedy: Using a MAX1232 reset circuit with brown-out detection.


Note that a supervisor (such as MAX1232) is not actually a remedy to the underlying problem (bad power supply regulation); it just stops the symptoms - ie, the processor lock-up.

In fact, you might want to review the whole of that thread - it sounds like you may have similar problems!
