Sure. I have found the issue and I have fixed it. It was a Heisenbug.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heisenbug#Heisenbugs

It was due to enormous amount of unlinks without closing the fds
associated with the file.

/dev/watchdog is present.  but i dont see any watchdog process running
in the system.

Sorry I am forced to ask you back how to do this.How to refresh the
timer from our application. I am using busybox 1.6.1

One more doubt.. whether the device shown in /dev/watchdog is a
softdog or hardware watchdog.

Any pointers towards these documentation is most welcome. I am not
able to locate them.
