If I understood the OpenBSD manual well, all the watchdog does is
determine (by nature) that job scheduling fails. Which indicates that
the kernel is in some erratic state, which in turn suggests that it's
operation in general should be regarded as pretty UNDEFINED.

Sounds like a heat ("a few hours..") or a similar hardware issue to me.
How about humidity? But I'm no expert, and I did have a hard time
struggling with that watchdog too. There seem to be many chickens and
eggs involved here.
