No, I made this mistake on this particular board by connecting reset to vcc through a 10k resistor. The board already does this however, probably expecting you to ground it rather than pull it up yourself.

Measure vcc to reset, you will see a 10k resistance.

I was getting the random resets until I investigated it and found I was halving the resistance by adding another 10k in parallel.
