Pretty critical PR for rust-msi is getting held up because the maintainer understands the intent but not why this works (github.com)

Not to throw shade, just wishing that somebody here can understand. Whenever an input is reasonably long, an analyzing function will crash, and this PR aims to fix that with a mechanism that contradicts the maintainer's understanding while a similar C implementation does not need this fix. ~~Clearly, the maintainer has not heard a certain programming mantra...~~

Thanks. All I wanted was to have someone answer with what's actually going on, and thanks to Giooschi below that has happened, and there indeed isn't anything to do at this point. I've tried to edit the post but couldn't find a proper wording.
