To be clear, although that message was discussing a particular case on
the branch code, the fact that the routine is extremely slow for
large number of identically named roads that are all joined together is
a situation that is not unique to the locator branch nor is it
recently introduced as far as I know.

Particular triggers of the hang may of course be more recent, I'm
a bit surprised that it hasn't been reported before.
