if you take out all the delay and feeds in auto mode. and replace them with your own way of delaying, AND place a parallel 100ms feed loop, everything will be OK?
The parallel loop effectively kills the usefulness of the watchdog - even if your important code hangs, this artificial loop will keep it fed. At that point, just disable the dog and be done with it (I don't recommend this).
