If you set a watchdog timer, you should clear it when its no longer needed. Otherwise it can go off, aborting your test script. In these more than two dozen test files, it hasn't mostly been a problem because the script finishes before the timer goes off. But I bet that some heisenbugs have been the result of not clearing it.
