It's not the Prodos that's causing the problem.  It's the old version 
of the clock setting software (it sets the registers wrong).  I was having 
the same problem and also thought it was the version of Prodos that I 
was using.  When I got the new clock setting software from Applied Engineering,
I used it to reset the clock.  Everything is back to normal now.
It's a 7 ProDOS blocks long and is a BASIC program.
