Two sequential stages in a parallel stage in a declarative pipeline making use of the same agent can cause a StackOverflowError

      When running the below pipeline if I have 2 agents that are available and are using the RH7 label then everything completes as expected. However If I only have 1 available agent on the RH7 label either because the other agents are busy or offline then the job will fail with the below error message. Every machine on the RH7 label has a single executor.

      Additionally whilst the job is marked as failed, the agent that tried to run the job still shows it as running. I don't know if it would eventually time out but after a few minutes it still shows the job "running" in the executor window. Cancelling the job in the executor window returns the agent to a usable state.

      Pipeline:

      #!groovy
      
      pipeline {
          agent none
      
          stages {
              stage ("p") {
                  parallel {
                      stage ("p1") {
                          agent { label "RH7" }
      
                          stages {
                              stage ("p1s1") {
                                  steps {
                                      echo "Hello in p1s1"
                                  }
                              }
      
                              stage ("p1s2") {
                                  steps {
                                      echo "Hello in p1s2"
                                  }
                              }
                          }
                      }
      
                      stage ("p2") {
                          agent { label "RH7" }
      
                          stages {
                              stage ("p2s1") {
                                  steps {
                                      echo "Hello in p2s1"
                                  }
                              }
                          }
                      }
                  }
              }
          }
