Ahah.

due to the arcane way printing to the lcd screen is implemented, all
interrupts must be turned off each time a character is written to the
lcd.

apparently this conflicts with the servo routines.

i'll look into it and see if there is a not-too-difficult fix (but
don't hold your breath).

I forgot to include the most interesting part of my findings.  Removing
printfs from my routines (which I did independently from all other fixes)
markedly improved performance of the servos.  This is actually one cause of
trouble which I think I have isolated pretty well.  However, I have had much
less luck explaining it.
