What happens when your watchdog fires?   
Is there an exception that you can catch?
What is the watchdog time [limit]?  Can you adjust it?

Fixing this may be hard.  Within RedBoot, there is a notion of "idle"
routines which will be called while RedBoot waits.  However, once the
GDB stubs start running, all of that stops and everything is simply
polled based on the serial port.
