Is there a step here that after the accepted/rejected stage, it should
then
decrement the limit back to its original value. The problem description
suggests that might be the case.
No. I thought that at first, too, but this increment happens in the
sub-process which is using the extra level of alternates for its entire
lifetime. So it "resets" it by exiting, and the parent process never
increments its internal value at all.
Thanks for the clarification.
