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. cheers, jamal
