what is this code good for? -> OS/2

in file comm.c there is the following code section (twice)

if (sec > 60)
    fatal_dump(NULL);

approx. line 800 and 895

what is this good for?
why to force a fatal_dump?

Squid 1.1.15 'dumps' due to the above code, 1.1.10 has no problem under OS/2

BTW: I'd like to release the 1.1.15 Squid OS/2 port, so prompt answers appreciated
the port works fine when these two lines uncommented :(
