I'm guessing that the Dorcy AAA is partially regulated, and that your NiCd cell was pooped out.
I installed a cell that I pulled out of my Gentle LED Birth Light because it was too dim in it, and it seems to do fine in the Dorcy AAA LED. But the Dorcy isn't blinking, so I'll have to leave it on and see what happens.

I get 85-90mA and 1.080 volts, and no flashing yet; so I'll let it go some more and see what happens.

I've seen this when experimenting with boost circuits. It's a feature of the battery /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif Your circuit drops out, which gives the battery a break, which recovers a bit and it's voltage rises back to a point where the circuit kicks back in and so on and so forth.
Or that might be what is happening /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif I could get quite a rapid flash rate if the battery was just beginning to drop below the threshold of the circuit.
