I downloaded emacs v 24.4.50.1 . I think I still had the problem the first time I ran it, but now I'm not sure if maybe I ran the old version by mistake. Anyway, I commented out my entire .emacs file, run 24.4.50.1, and the clock persistence worked. I restored my .emacs a few lines at a time, and it continued working the entire time. I restored my .emacs file, 24.4.50.1 was still working correctly. Then for giggles I tried 24.3, got the error, returned to 24.4.50.1, and no error. Then I removed 24.3 completely and installed 24.4.50.1 , and I haven't had the error since then.
