If I recall, avrdude works around this with the 'pwroff_after_write'
flag set to 'yes' for the affected memory in the config file.  But of
course, avrdude can only do that if it has control over the
programmer's power or can direct the programmer to cycle power on the
device.  You can do this if you have a "simple" parallel port
programmer where the parallel port pins are actually used to power the
device.  However, I don't think there is a way for avrdude to
automatically do this with the STK500 type programmer.

So, I think the only thing you can do is to set your fuses in avrdude,
then exit programming mode, power off your device and then power it
back on.  Then go back into avrdude and verify your settings, they
should be correct.

These are parallel programming parameters needed by the STK500
protocol.  I don't recall if the 4433 supports parallel programming or
not.  If so, enter the correct values available from the parallel
programming section of the datasheet.  If not, just enter any non-zero
value and it should keep avrdude from complaining.

Cheers,
