The second @item should be @itemx.  In general, all the @item's but
the first one should be @itemx when they all pertain to the same entry
in the @table (or in @itemize list).  This is so the produced text
looks like this:

  [previous text]

  show max-user-call-depth
  set max-user-call-depth
      The value of `max-user-call-depth' controls how many...

instead of this:

  [previous text]

  show max-user-call-depth

  set max-user-call-depth
      The value of `max-user-call-depth' controls how many...

where the extra line between the two @item's makes the first one look
as if the following text doesn't apply to it.

> +The value of @code{max-user-call-depth} controls how many levels deep a
> +user-defined call chain can go.

Perhaps this text is a bit more clear:

  The value of @code{max-user-call-depth} controls how many recursion
  levels are allowed in user-defined commands before GDB suspects an
  infinite recursion and aborts the command.
