Regards to all!
I got the same problem and I decided to design a 18F4550 board with separate power for servo lines. As the new servo library is ready on x.4 (rel 940) is able to handle up to 30 servos (full pin users usage), I'm working in a robot project that uses this ability, and that's why I redesigned a Pinguino board. I will publish it soon in my blog.
But again, your reseting problems come from servo current drain if supply is shared between both: PIC and Servo. Absolutely.
