  Yup.  You only get so long to do stuff, so a large file read or other
time-consuming operation can time out.

  You might be able to raise the max ticks, but it's a better idea usually
to divide the task up into multiple threads.  The Phantasmal ObjectD and
Geir Harald Hansen's ObjectD both do this.  You can read a mini tutorial
on how to do it at
"http://phantasmal.sourceforge.net/DGD/Kernel/Threading.html", at least if
you're using the Kernel MUDLib.  Doing it with another MUDLib (for
instance Melville) is similar, but you have fewer things to do if you want
to do it badly, and more things to do if you want to do it well.  Much of
the tutorial still applies.
