Well, my only guess is that it's exceeding a task limit and raising an
E_QUOTA.  Are you running this with `player' set to yourself?  If it's
called from a server task you might want to either set player beforehand or
hack $handle_uncaught_error and $handle_task_timeout and make sure it isn't
tracing back somewhere.  Also, is there a try or catch expression around one
of the calling verbs that might be ignoring the error and preventing an
actual traceback from happening?
