For the non technically oriented people reading this newsgroup let me 
assure you that it is patently impossible for any program to survive in
memory while power cycling on the Amiga. There is no RAM in the clock
chip (and even if you have a clock chip with RAM it only has 4 bit nybbles
and would never get executed anyway). It can't be done, period. 

There are some bits in the clock chip you can stomp on that are annoying
such as the TEST bit, but no damage to your system, data, or programs is
possibe.
