You should almost never get a task out of ticks error - 30,000 ticks is a
*lot*.  It's more likely that the verb running out of ticks is written
incorrectly - i.e. it's getting into an infinite loop.  I'd check those
verbs before I change some server options.
If a verb isn't in an endless loop, but is still running out of ticks, add
a $command_utils:suspend_if_needed(0); to the loop (Presumably any verb
that could run out of ticks has a loop).  That will suspend it for 0
seconds (Well, theoretically - Realistically a little more) and reset the
tick count.
