timeout table overflow

	I have several users who have been using ^Z to stop & restart
	emacs jobs - they are not the best housekeepers & this has
	resulted in a system crash "panic: timeout table overflow"
	
	This irritates me for two reasons -
	1: I don't think it should be that easy to crash the system
		(its embarrasing, too - like when our 11/60 rolled
		over dead because somebody put a book down on a keyboard)

	2: Educating an ever growing group of ever less knowledgeable
           users about something like this is a good way to go pre-
	   maturely bald (or postmaturely in my case)
	
	Enough fun - how can I increase the table size and is there a 
	way already devised for flushing the table periodically?

	Please lets refrain from flaming about novices & emacs.
