I noticed you decreased the maximum array size for sort from 2^50 to
2^40 elements.
This actually brings it into range of real life operations. (it's not
unheard of to have 46bits of addressable memory now).
Though a single threaded sort operation might take a long time with
that much data,
Imagine the disappointment when your multi-month sort overruns your stack ;)

Was there any reason to move this down from 50 to 40?
