Caught me off guard too.

No worry, the complete brainwipe is another procedure. I'm probably going to do one eventually. But, do the 30/30 reset first and then backup your Newt while it's not acting up. Then brainwipe.
Brainwipes and Resets can be found in The Official Newton FAQ :

You shouldn't have to worry about your 2100, it looks like Eckhart Köppen has fixed it in the 2100 patch.
About mine (and at least a few others that have noted simular problems), why these 120s started acting up, I haven't had the time to research it. I'm planning to do a full brainwipe and reset the ROM patch.
I can confirm that if I set my clock to anything in 2009, a continuous restart cycle starts and doesn't stop until I do a 30/30 reset.
What version of NOS and ROM patch are you running?
