CraftBukkit removed their implementation that caused this issue,
switching to Mojang's implementation which doesn't appear to share it. I
already removed the important bit in the last upstream merge, this is
just unused and unnecessary now. So we remove it.
Spigot has patched this issue inside MapIcon, meaning that we no longer need to maintain this patch; Spigots patch also fixes#668 in that it will verify the length of the array, as well as protect against a negative type value being fetched from the array. Only real change is that Spigots patch returns a MapIcon.Type.PLAYER, instead of the RED_MARKER as originally PR'd by Aikar.
Someone wrote some horrible code that throws a world accessing task
onto the HTTP DOWNLOADER Thread Pool, for an activity that is not even
heavy enough to warrant async operation.
This then triggers async chunk loads!
What in the hell were you thinking?
