Ah, so that's the source of that Chrome bug that we saw last week. Customers on Chrome for Windows (only that, not Chrome for Linux or macOS) were complaining that the search on our statically-generated documentation site was not working. The search is implemented by a JavaScript file that downloads a JSON containing a search index, and it turns out that this search index had too much nesting for Chrome on Windows's JSON parser. This would reliably produce a stack overflow:

  JSON.parse(Array(3000).join('[')+Array(3000).join(']'))

We were about to report a bug when we noticed that the problem was fixed in Chrome 76, and the users in question were still on Chrome 75.
