 The new LiveJournal API importer #8999 gets stuck in an infinite loop when
 importing from a journal that has 0 comments.

 The fault seems to lie with the $maxid > $highest_id logic in
 download_comments().  The first of those ("loop over the metadata request
 until we have it all") loops infinitely because $highest_id is never
 incremented.
