[CODE][BUG] Missed Pulses.

        Ok.  I have an inquiry.  I haven't toyed with comm.c in quite a
while, but seem to have run into a few problems.  The first problem being,
that my mud seems to be missing 30+ pulses every so often.  It comes in
spurts, also.  I rebooted the mud, and the missed pulses continued.
However, it seemed to relinquish after about 10 minutes and the mud was
normal once again.  What type of things could cause this to happen?

        My second problem, if it is a problem at all, is constant messages
from the event handler.  It seems that in extract_char, it calls
clean_events, to clear all events that involve that character.  And inside
clean_events it checks to see if events are running at that time.  If so,
it logs the message "Trying to remove events inside the handler.
Attempting to continue."  In my syslog, I get alot of these in spurts.  I
will get about 10 of these right in a row, at the same second.  Is that
warning something that should not go unheeded or should I just comment it
out?  If it is hazardous, what kind of problems could it cause and what
could I do to fix it?

        Last question, could these problems be interrelated?  The missed
pulses happen much less often than the latter problem.  Any reponse would
be greatly appreciated.
