Consider marking the state visited while pushing them in the queue. 85803410

      It is possible that many states lead to the same sub-state. In that case you get multiple instances of same sub-state in the queue. Notice that the sub-state is marked visited only when it is processed. But before it is processed there can be copies of it in the queue which unnecessarily increases the queue size, giving you MLE.
