It disables the SW watchdog, but 32_wd is the HW watchdog. I've never encountered this reboot. Had you been doing a lot of disk operations (*both* saving and removing large amounts of data from the internal Flash) before the night on which the device reboots? My suspicion is that sometimes the JFFS2 file system garbage collecting might keep the kernel busy for >1/2 minute without yielding the control back to scheduler. Normally the JFFS2 GC happens only on bootup (in case you were wondering why the booting is sometimes slower), but it can be run also during normal usage. HW watchdog reboots the device if it's not refreshed within 1/2 min (in the JFFS2 case the device would probably unfreeze / function normally after GC has finished). - Eero
