The issue is that this is walking a hierarchy tree (limited depth) and not
a list of groups at a particular level.

In an earlier version we checked the stack usage and it was ~128 bytes per
nest level. With 32k CPUs this ends up with maximum 5 recursions, i.e. 640
bytes. I recheck with the current implementation.

Thanks,
