setInterval not working after save()?

Hi,
The following (much cut down) code works fine when uploaded from the IDE but after using save() and power cycling it appears as if setInterval has no effect. The LCD and clock then update as quickly as possible (the clock goes through a day in about 6 seconds).

On power-up or after using load() it exhibits this problem.
However, if I then press the physical reset button or use E.reboot() from the IDE it will run properly.

I may just be that I'm not setting things up properly for using save() with setInterval (I rarely use save).

This is on an original Espruino board with added 32.168kHz crystal.
Firmware is version 2v03.21 but with some fonts compiled in.

Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jamie

  // timeout used here to allow for the initial data reading to complete
