I looked at how window.setTimeout() handles overflow of its timer IDs. It looks
like it simply allows the overflow to happen (while ensuring the ID remains
positive), thus overwriting the previous timer. See
http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebCore/page/DOMTimer.cpp.

I suggest we do the same for Geolocation requests - allow the overflow, making
sure the ID remains positive or negative as appropriate.
