+ o Major bugfixes (user interface):
+ - Fix an integer overflow in the rate-limiter that caused displaying of
+ wrong number of suppressed messages (if there are too many of them).
+ If the number of messages hits the limit of messages per interval the
+ rate-limiter drops a warning and doesn't count any further.
+ Fixes bug 19435.
