This sounds like it could be a bug fixed in 1.2p1 or thereabouts.  The
most recent stable version of DGD (also for Windows) is 1.2p3.

Alternatively, it may be some sort of infinite loop in LPC code.  By
default, LPC threads have no resource limits, and in such a case there
will be no "out of ticks" error.
