I tried to reproduce this, and stumbled upon the watchdog and
watchdog0 files. If they are the problem, well...

  echo > /dev/watchdog
  sleep 30
  # notice your machine is rebooting

That would probably by design. I guess its well understood that
writing to random "files" in /dev is a bad plan; it appears
-opening- then is, too.
