Has anyone tried emulating a watchdog timeout w/ the picmaster emulator?

I've written to the config word as follows:

                __config H'0004'

and setup the options register as follows:

        bsf     STATUS,RP0
        clrwdt
        movlw   b'00001111'
        movwf   OPTION_REG
        bcf     STATUS,RP0

this all works fine.....OPTION reg is being written to.

As far as I can read, this should setup the pre-scaler for the WDT, and
turn it on. I let my
program fly w/o hitting the CLRWDT as a test,but the emulator never
resets.

The text refers to location 2007h (CONFIG WORD) as only writable during
programming. Is the emulator NOT an excepction to this?
