WDT kicks in when I use os_wait

I am using PK51, which comes with RTX51 tiny. I am trying to use the os_wait command from a function. This is code I'm using.

 while (something) {
    CallFunction(some,thing,here);
     .. <continue processing> ..
 }

  CallFunction(some,thing,here) _task_ some_task {
   ..
 os_wait(K_SIG | K_TMO, 1,0);
   ..
}

According to Keil, I can use the os_wait command from a function, not just from a task. But when I run the code, the WDT seems to kick in. The WDT timeout's set at 5 seconds.
Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Have you ensured that the WD is "fed" during the OS wait?

If not, it will obviously "bite" you - that's its job!

"How can I reset the WDT if I'm using os_wait?"

I have no idea - I don't use RTX51!

You're the one that's using RTX51 so, hopefully, you have determined that it is suitable to your application - and that would include determining that it can handle your WDT!
