------------------------------------------
Interesting! Looks like it was fixed before:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1792
> couchjs -S option doesn't have any effect
> -----------------------------------------
>
> Key: COUCHDB-3245
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-3245
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Nick Vatamaniuc
>
> currently -S option of couchjs sets stack _chunk_ size for js contexts
> Reference: to
> https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/SpiderMonkey/JSAPI_reference/JS_NewContext
> Documentation recommends 8K and I have seen cases where it was raised to 1G+
> in production!. That doesn't seem right at all and also probably kills
> performance and eats memory.
> Docs from above say:
> > The stackchunksize parameter does not control the JavaScript stack size.
> > (The JSAPI does not provide a way to adjust the stack depth limit.) Passing
> > a large number for stackchunksize is a mistake. In a DEBUG build, large
> > chunk sizes can degrade performance dramatically. The usual value of 8192
> > is recommended
> Instead we should be setting the max gc value which is set in the runtime
> {{JS_NewRuntime(uint32_t maxbytes)}}
> It seems that acts similarly to a max heap used (from what I understand).
> Which makes more sense. A stack size of hundreds of megabytes doesn't sound
> right.
