Does that mean it works for shorter times?

Hmm, one of us is doing the arithmetic wrong here :)  I get 0.5 seconds.  A 
count of 15000000 would give 1 second.  Curiously there is no protection 
against modifying this register in the LPC (a bit of a weakness IMHO).

You do have WDFEED declared as volatile?  The fact you get a reset does 
suggest it's get fed properly at least once.

Have you checked to make sure the loop is in fact executing multiple times 
before the reset?

More questions than answers at the moment, I'm afraid.
