That was actually my point :-)
AFAIK (which is limited), the whole point of the watchdog is to reboot (the 
system I'd guess) when things get stuck.
That that didn't happen, is worth noting

To talk in Xen terms, I meant dom0 as host. I'd guess that qemu would create a 
VM from that host. (and in Xen terms, the created VM would be a domU).

Maybe things work different wrt qemu, but that's the version I was looking for.

Ack. It is what I thought (but didn't know).

Less useful then I'd hoped, but you earlier already found the qemu version :-)
