Just briefly looked at it, w/o evaluating formal proof. But original

#define MAX_MERGE_PENDING 85
So where did the new magic number 49 come from? And how do we know this
is now "big enough"?
Thanks,

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.
