Thanks, changed.

I'm not sure what we should utilize map in this case because chance that
number of merging partitions exceed dozens is low.
Is there a function example that uses a map for such a small number of
elements?

We have implicit "break" in "for" construction:

+ for (i = 0; i < boundinfo->ndatums && found; i++)

I'll change it to explicit "break;" to avoid confusion.

Attached patch with the changes described above.
