The message appears only once during writing (per thread).

The _task_time_stamp counter always contains the total number of
entries that the GC wanted to write.

Now Kim suggested to explicitly print how many messages too much were
written at the end, but then the user would need to manually add the
two values (GCTaskTimeStampEntries plus the number of overflowed
message) together manually.

I can remove the single overflow message while writing if you want, I
see it as a courtesy to tell the user what to change.

Please suggest your preferences.

Thanks,
  Thomas
