I looked at your Clock code and notice that you are doing stuff that are 
not very safe in Morphic.
The Clock code looks more like a MVC app.
Morphic runs in a single process and updating from another process is 
probably what causes your trouble.
Take a look at the class ClockMorph to see a morphic approach to what 
you are doing, using #step etc.
