SUGGESTED FIX The fix is to remove the guarantees as they are too strong. Here's an alternative that we might want to look at in the future. If we wanted to skip the push on the region stack, we could introduce a CM task-local region entry and store the last entry there instead pushing it on the stack there. When the CM task restarts, we have to make sure that we check that entry first before we pop any more entries from the region stack. This way we can leave the guarantees in.

EVALUATION _cm->region_stack_empty() can become not empty again because if some thread in aborting in CMTask::drain_region_stack() it will push a partially done region back.
