[wp-hackers] set/modify the auto-incrementing ID of the wp_postmeta.

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

If you're executing the script via a web server, chances are you're
running into a max_execution time or similar timeouts in the server
stack itself.

the most common method to resolve this is to run the script on the
command line, and use set_time_limit(0); (unlimited).
