[mesa-users] limit the max timestep

Try 'max_timestep'.  Here's what star/defaults/controls.defaults has to say:

         max_timestep = 0  ! in seconds.  max_timestep <= 0 means no upper limit.           
         max_years_for_timestep = 0  ! max_years_for_timestep <= 0 means no upper limit.
            ! NOTE: max_timestep is the control that is used by most of the code.
            ! max_years_for_timestep is just provided as a convenience.
            ! at the start of each step, the evolve routine checks to see if max_years_for_timestep > 0,
            ! and if so, it sets max_timestep = max_years_for_timestep*secyer.
