    Yes.

    Edit the file options.h, and change the line '#define MAX_VERB_DEPTH 50'
    to whatever you require.

    However, you are getting this error because of either bad programming
    logic, or an accidental recursion.  I'd recommend leaving it to 50, and
    fixing your code.

    Regards,

    Ian.
