RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded in OverlappingFieldsCanBeMergedRule

[MarkKoester]

I noticed during some testing that sending queries with 10000 fragments causes a
RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded in OverlappingFieldsCanBeMergedRule error to be thrown from OverlappingFieldsCanBeMergedRule. I was wondering if this is the intended behavior and if not, how it should be handled.

This was observed on version 16.6.0 and 16.7.2

Below is the stack trace of the error and the steps to reproduce

Reproduction steps

import {
  parse,
  buildSchema,
  validate,
  OverlappingFieldsCanBeMergedRule,
} from 'graphql';

const n = 10000;
const fragments = Array.from(Array(n).keys()).reduce((fragments, next) => {
  return fragments.concat(`\n
    fragment X${next + 1} on Query {
      ...X${next}
    }
  `);
}, '');

const query = `
query Chat {
	...X${n}
}
${fragments}
fragment X0 on Query {
	__typename
}
`;

const schema = buildSchema(`
  type Query {
    test: String!
   }
`);

const ast = parse(query);
console.log(ast.definitions.length);
const result = validate(schema, ast, [OverlappingFieldsCanBeMergedRule]);
