Pointing out the obvious... looking at the disassembly, it isn't 
enabling the watchdog (SWE).  I'm guessing that you disassembled code 
where you had the watchdog disabled?

I see you have PBME and LBME enabled (I'm looking at an 8260 manual, 
assuming the 8247 is the same - feel free to correct me :-).  Do you 
have a 60x bus and a local bus?  Is it possible you are having an 
inadvertant bus error?  This wouldn't explain why it only happens when 
you enable the WDT, however.  Puzzling.
