I have a question related to debugWIRE vs SPI internal to a Tiny88.
A colleague of mine, new to AVRs, tried to use debugWIRE to step
through some code that I gave him.  In my code I turned off the SPI
port through the Power Reduction Register.

Once he hit that point, the part died.  Anyway to recover them?
I did not expect to see any interaction of the SPI and debugWIRE
myself?
