    Hello,

    How does your verb cycle to the next round?  If it is using a while()
    loop, things should be ok...but you can quickly run into trouble if
    you're using recursion.  If you would, please e-mail me the verb in
    question and I'll take a look.

    What server and/or core are you using?
