I don't suspect Nut/OS to be at fault, the most probable cause is in my 
experience the application. It's just that I haven't a clue yet what 
might be the problem. The application runs fine for a couple of hours 
and then simply does not return from a NutSleep().

What I'm using now is a OS-independent timer that's incrementing a 
counter and issueing a wdt_enable() when the counter is above a certain 
value. The main application is resetting the counter.

The odd thing is that I see when the wdt_enable is called but the system 
does not reset until the mentioned NutSleep().

Unfortunately I can't use a hard reset since the required cabling is 
missing.
