Bug: org-clock-select-task reuses reserved characters [9.3 (release_9.3 @ /home/unhammer/PREFIX/emacs/share/emacs/28.0.50/lisp/org/)]

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen.  You don't know how to make a good report?  See

     https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

If your org-clock-history has 44 or more elements, then the "c"
character will no longer go to the current task, but to the 44th clocked
in task. Similarly for [d]efault and [i]nterrupted.

The function first adds (?c . marker-to-current-task) to the sel-list,
then goes through org-history and uses 0-9 and A-Z and then keeps going
through lower case letters without caring about whether the letter was
already in there.
