> After I added a bit of tracing to `select_worker_threads` it seems we get WAY too high young_to_old_ratio values; in my locally failing example
> young_to_old_ratio:27561965412.478878
> this leads to values out of range of uint and that makes ubsan complain about the uint cast
> `uint(young_workers * young_to_old_ratio)` .
> We clamp the value anyway to the range 1u to ZOldGCThreads ; so it probably makes sense to avoid such high factors for young_to_old_ratio .
