Stamp BofE resets if servo hits limit?

This is my first stamp project in about 10 years. It seems
like if I hit the limit on the servo's range of motion my stamp
resets and my program starts over. Is this a normal thing?

I have a simple program with a servo attached to the header
on of Board of Education Board, Rev C.

    This can happen if the servo pulls so much current that the voltage drops, thus resetting the BS2.
    So it depends on what voltage your wall-wart is producing, or if your batteries are fresh.

    I guess it goes without saying that it's a good idea to find the useable range on the servos to prevent them from ever hitting the limit.· This will save on batteries, servo life, and of course, stamp resetting.
