Maybe I should have been more explicit - note that above code with
correct indentation looks like this:

  		/* 3.2.2. strobe watchdog once */
  		WATCHDOG_RESET();
		base = post_time_ms (0);
		while (post_time_ms (base) < 2)
			WATCHDOG_RESET();

I. e. the comment "once" is wrong - you trigger the watchdog many more
times that you probably think.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
