Just briefly looked at it, w/o evaluating formal proof. But original
Python implementation(written on C) works on stack size even more
simple, AFAIU it:
/* The maximum number of entries in a MergeState's pending-runs stack.
* This is enough to sort arrays of size up to about
* 32 * phi ** MAX_MERGE_PENDING
* where phi ~= 1.618. 85 is ridiculouslylarge enough, good for an array
* with 2**64 elements.
*/
#define MAX_MERGE_PENDING 85

Hi Lev,
The fix looks fine.
Did you consider the improvements suggested in the paper to
reestablish the invariant?

Hi,
Stack length increased previously by JDK-8011944 was insufficient for
some cases.
