Yes.

I do not know, if ctrlc() must trigger the WDT ... I just looked into
the while(1) loop in common/cmd_dfu.c. There is only ctrlc() which
could trigger the WDT... and on at91 it does not trigger it ...

If dfu transfer is started there is some output on the console, which
triggers the WDT too ... do you have a board with a running WDT?

bye,
Heiko
