Rate limit debugging stack traces

There have been issues in the past where excessive debug logging
to the console has resulted in significant performance impacts.
In the vast majority of these cases only a few stack traces are
required to diagnose the issue.  Therefore, stack traces dumped to
the console will now we limited to 5 every 60s.
