How is *your code* being executed? If executed correctly (e.g. via an external
configured with a "?script" command-line) the script should execute in its own
JS context and not be able to corrupt others.
time() is a global function (a.k.a. method) in the Synchronet object model, so
it is possible that if your script executes in the same context and somehow
deletes or overwrites the time() function that could trigger the error, but I
don't think that would be normal.

Really? Just restarting Synchronet should fix any JS context stuff. Or even
just logging off and back on again. Or recycling the terminal server. Rebooting
the entire computer is certainly overkill.
