Hmm, we shouldn't be increasing the congestion except when sending at congestion-limited rate, which should be pretty difficult to do without packet loss when your window gets big enough for this to be a threat. Still, this change is clearly reasonable. |

Just for reference, this crash happened on a node running for around seven days, the entire thing running on a Digital Ocean VPS. |

Thanks!
Would you be able to submit a backport to the 0.11.x branch for this?

Resolves a panic:
Cubic::on_ackcomputescubic_cwnd += cubic_inc as u64(congestion/cubic.rs:161).w_cubicgrows cubically with the time since the last congestion event, so on a long-lived connection with no loss for roughly a week,cubic_incexceedsu64::MAXand the addition overflows; a panic in builds withoverflow-checks = true, a silent wrap otherwise.Kind of along the lines of the ones below:
