But it's the only answer there is. Unrecognized tail recursion will kill
every stack.

def find_next_match(p, h)
loop do
  result_p = p(p + 1)
  result_h = h(h + 1)
  if result_p == result_h # result found!
    return result_p
  if result_p < result_h
    p += 1
  else
    h += 1
  end
  puts "find next match for p=#{p} (#{result_p}) and h=#{h} (#{result_h})"
end
end
