    Ok, can someone 'splain this?

    ;for x in [1..100000] if (ticks_left() < 5000) suspend(10); else
    notify(player, tostr(ticks_left())); endif endfor

    This will spam me until x = 100000 and it won't suspend, tho' the ticks
    are reset.  the output looks like this:
    .
    .
    .
    5035
    5004
    29954
    29346
    .
    .
    .
    and so one until it loops back again.
    Now if I do this next thing I get a totally different result:

    ;for x in [1..100000] if (x == 15000) suspend(10); else
    notify(player, tostr(ticks_left())); endif endfor

    The output is:
    spam
    spam
    spam
    .
    .
    .
    6032
    5889
    And here it suspends, allowing calls to @forked and allowing other tasks
    to run.
    Then it runs out of ticks.
    So the problem seems to be suspend() and ticks_left() working together,
    but what is going on here?
