I added a comment explaining where the number comes from. Since it's only used
in this one spot putting it in a static const variable seemed redundant.
I'm not sure that 250 is a safe limit. I know that the JUnit test crashes if
this value is set to 252 but succeeds at 251. I don't want to risk disturbing
existing apps but since each count represents a runnable waiting for an event
loop to exit even 200 seems like a high number. It might be prudent to set this
to, say, 246 to give us a bit more headroom.
