The MOO runs into a Quota problem: There are to few allocated ticks for
the task at hand. The task is decapitated without further ado, thus
dead. You are just sitting and waiting for the death certificate, and
that takes ~5 min.

You should throw in a couple of suspend(0)s in the verbs producing the
page you are after, namely inside for- and while-loops. I could be of
help if needed.

NOTE: You should always be able to login with a text-only client like
TKmoo and work on the thing, because they don't use web. The problem you
are having is a mere web page producing problem (although a nasty one).
Don't roll back to old dbs.

In web, yes. But it's not a well defined limit. Connecting with text
only clients allows for hundreds of users to be connected and
interacting simultanously. Connecting with web clients put a whole
dfferent pressure on the moo server, a pressure it was never designed
for. I won't go into details, but I can assure you that this pesky error
is one of my biggest overall concerns in my work.
