I have had the same issue since this morning Melbourne time. Visited the Apple Highpoint shop and they have had approx. 50 people come in with the same issue and have informed Apple. The engineers in the shop are unable to fix the issue. Told me to sit tight for a few days until Apple comes out with an update. I have followed the advice from the clay_easton post on here. I went into Settings- General- Date & Time- Set Automatically (turn off). I kept the location as Sydney which gives me Melbourne time but just put the date back by 2 weeks. I then turned my phone off then on. This has worked for the time being and my phone has not crashed, I am now able to see my alarms in the clock App. Hopefully Apple provides a long term solution soon.
