Maximum call stack size exceeded error in Javascript

I am using a Direct Web Remoting (DWR) JavaScript library file and am getting an error only in Safari (desktop and iPad)

It says

Maximum call stack size exceeded.

What exactly does this error mean and does it stop processing completely?

Also any fix for Safari browser (Actually on the iPad Safari, it says

JS: execution exceeded the timeout

which I am assuming is the same call stack issue)

In my case, I was sending input elements instead of their values:

$.post( '',{ registerName: $('#registerName') } )

Instead of:

$.post( '',{ registerName: $('#registerName').val() } )

This froze my Chrome tab to a point it didn't even show me the 'Wait/Kill' dialog for when the page became unresponsive...

In my case, I was converting a large byte array into a string using the following:

String.fromCharCode.apply(null, new Uint16Array(bytes))

bytes contained several million entries, which is too big to fit on the stack.

You can sometimes get this if you accidentally import/embed the same JavaScript file twice, worth checking in your resources tab of the inspector.
