First I had it tied to the system reset then (per your recomendation) I
reconnected it to the Vcc. Subjectively it helped a bit but the power 
cycling problems were still there. I also recall seeing "bit flipping" 
phenomenon when a bit would be partially written and then would sometimes 
read as 1 and sometimes as 0.

I have about 2 ms from reset trip point to when Vcc hits 2.7 V (lowest NAND 
Vcc spec)
