Old comments (comments for nodes having no entry in the history table
anymore) are counted as new comments, since the timestamp retrieved
from the history table is used to check for new comments (which is 0,
if an entry was not found). This patch sets the timestamp used to check
for new comments to the NODE_NEW_LIMIT value at least (which is when the
history table was/should have been pruned).
