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.
