It seems that the error was caused, because restbase did not receive a response from mathoid.

Physikerwelt added a project: Mathoid.Dec 9 2015, 4:26 PM

Physikerwelt set Security to None.

... and this is caused by

Math Processing Error: Maximum call stack size exceeded

I wonder where this comes from... maybe a console log statement

@Physikerwelt: It sounds like the root cause is in mathoid, but RESTBase should at least return an error. Could you verify whether a correct error response is sent?

@GWicke: Yes it's a mathoid problem. I have a reproducible setup so that I can repeat this problem for debugging and testing pruposes. I would like to use the concrete problem in MathJax to develop a method that the mathoid worker thread kills itself... I found out how, I can detect the problem in MathJax but now how to kill the mathoid worker process.
As far as I can tell, Restbase just waits too long for a response from mathoid. From the restbase perspective a timeout should be sent.

Let's see if that solve the problem https://github.com/physikerwelt/mathoid-server/commit/18f791029ea15a100dc1fc9a35e2c3d106e39ef7

The restbase error message... might not be very useful... but at least it might help if someone, who has a similar problem uses a search engine...

That does not help at all... https://github.com/physikerwelt/mathoid-server/commit/18f791029ea15a100dc1fc9a35e2c3d106e39ef7 The only option that I could find is that MathJax-node kills itself.

The worker committing suicide seems like a bad choice. Can't MathJax-node return an error itself?

In my tests it could... but in practice the error returned never arrives at the mathoid level. Maybe that is connected to this specific error:

Maximum call stack size exceeded

Letting MathJax-node die it at leat an option, which solves the urgency of the problem.

And the first 40k formulae perform quite well

1/2nd rendering	time in ms	items processed
1-getMathM	37.88873511873259	19363
1-getSvg	38.01941206706523	19649

checkTeX	15.00948109577863	39097

Waiting for a timeout to happen on the RB side hurts performance. Perhaps see with the MathJax folks why is it committing suicide and whether that can be avoided somehow?

I found one input that causes the problem

{"q":"=nf(x)\\left({n-1 \\choose k-1}F(x)^{k-1}(1-F(x))^{(n-1)-(k-1)}-\\underbrace {{n-1 \\choose n}F(x)^{n}(1-F(x))^{(n-1)-n}} \\right)","type":"inline-tex"}

tested with
mathoid 1.0.0-alpha.6
