I'm not sure on the history of why a value of 4 was selected here but
it seems to fall into line with my findings.

Back then we could only loop in one direction (as opposed to two right
now) - so seeing something twice would have been suspect enough,
so 4 seems to be a good number. I still think 4 is a good number.

Is there a hard requirement for >4 recursive calls here?

I think this is where testcases help (which then get permanently
added in tdc repository). Eyal - if you have a test scenario where
this could be demonstrated it would help.
