Maximum number of warnings?

The current record-holder for largest asset in ar5iv is arXiv:1501.02683, which has a ZIP of 647 MB in size.

To add insult to injury, the bundle contains a single cortex.log file, containing the latexml conversion logging information - and totaling a whopping 7.7 million lines.

As it turns out, those lines are almost entirely the same warning message, emitted in a busy loop until the timeout is reached (45 minutes). It reads:

Warning:expected:<number> Missing number, treated as zero
        at 1501.02683.tex; line 2441 col 0 - line 2441 col 12
        while processing \count@
        Next token is T_CS[\relax] ( == Core::Definition::Primitive[\relax]) more: \ifnum\count@<\value{proofcount}
\advance\count@\@ne\relax\expandafter\iterate\fi\let\iterate\relax
        In Core::Gullet[@0x559bfe9cba78] /dev/shm/hN2Sba2fTg/1501.02683.tex; 
 from line 2441 col 0 to line 2441 col 12

It is very clearly a pathological case of expansion gone wrong. But it suggests an idea for a new guard, similar to the "100 Error" guard that terminates execution. Maybe 10,000 Warnings?

Curious if @brucemiller finds this a good idea, and how many warnings could be considered a "healthy maximum".
