During reset, the i/o pins are set as inputs (hi impedence). If the
watchdog chip has no internal biasing for its input, the line will
float and may toggle based on picking up noise from the air. You
could add a pull-up or pull-down resistor to define the level.
However, it sounds strange that this should cause a problem. What
watchdog chip are you using?
