    PSet jobdebug.txt =     { PSet default        = { int32 limit    = 1000000 }

</pre>

The <font color=red>Pset serious_matter int32 limit = 1000 </font> and
<font color=red>limit = 1000</font> establish that these 
destinations should report only that many messages of having messageID 
of "serious_matter".  Afterward, most further messages of this type will be 
ignored; and exponential backoff will report some of the remainder. 
<p>
As illustrated, this limit can be supplied without an accompanying timespan.
