This happened to me, too. There are several options. First I should say that 
your clock is probably OK, but that some software has corrupted the structures
involved in the interface between the clock circuitry and Ami. There is some
software available from ftp sites to correct this (you'll need to probe further)
but the first thing to try is (from CLI) "SetClock reset". I actually took back
my RAM expansion when this happened, before I found out that it was a common (?)
problem.
