Hello there.
Yesterday I was trying to typeset a very, very long document (about 3000
pages in A4). Well, mkiv died with a
PANIC: unprotected error in call to Lua API (stack overflow (out of stack space))
It's easily reproducible with a simple
\starttext
\dorecurse{50000}{
\input knuth
}
Once it reaches page 4000 it will die.
I'm obviously going to split the document, because a pdf of 4000 pages
is just insane, but now I'm curious if this is a known limit.

its hard to figure out where it happens so probably taco has to run a
variant with debugging on; maybe a core luatex function is not cleaning
up the stack

i could run this
\starttext
\dorecurse{50000}{narf \page}
\stoptext
==
pdfTeX warning: pdftex: no GlyphToUnicode entry has been inserted yet!
Output written on test.pdf (50000 pages, 10574005 bytes).
Transcript written on test.log.
TeXExec | runtime: 310.679998
==
and got 50000 pages in one pdf.
Okular is quite slow in opening it and needs 200 MB RAM, but it works.
But i could not use Ctrl-C to break the loop.
I think that is a bug, or not?
i use this context:

Kind regards,

Yes it was a bug, fixed in the luatex source repository now.

How high is the limit now? Just curious, since I saw LuaTeX building _a
paragraph_ lasting few hundred pages without problems (on the other hand,
pdfTeX couldn't do it).

Which limit? For the simple knuth case most likely the size of your harddisk
is the limit (iff luatex can generate PDFs >4GB :). And you'll get problems
with pdfs with millions of objects (i.e. pages), as readers can't cope with
them.

There is nothing hardcoded anywhere, but I suspect that after a few
million pages some limit somewhere will be reached eventually: either
the harddisk gets full, or your pdf reader will be unable to open the
pdf due to its internal limits (luatex will happily create 10GB pdfs).
Best wishes,
Taco

I've done tests with tens of thousands of pages with mkiv with no
problem so there must be something special going on now.
