Workers / MiniRacer::ScriptTerminatedError timeouts in /logs

Support
1

For a few months now, we have been seeing these dozens of these warnings in /logs on a daily basis:

Unicorn worker received USR2 signal indicating it is about to timeout, dumping backtrace for main thread

As we usually run on stable, I assumed they would eventually go away when we jumped into the next major version which we did this week. We are now on 3.4.1, but the errors continue.

I’m not sure if they may be related, but we are also seeing two classes of errors (not warnings), intermixed, although less often:

These may be related with this, but in my case they seem to persist. And, as mentioned there, the logs do seem to get truncated sometimes.

And what all this looks like in /logs:

Any clues on what might be causing these? Can I prove any other info?

Seeing this same error on our instance when posting/editing/approving a topic with very specific Markdown content. It will load for a while and then throw internal server error.

The image shows a pop-up dialog with the message "Internal Server Error," along with an "OK" button. (Captioned by AI)

FWIW, we have also seen sporadic reports from users with similar errors when editing some posts (usually quite long, although not close to the limit), where making tiny changes to the text seem to overcome the error (anecdotally: adding another period, replacing a dash, etc). Haven’t been able to find reproducible steps yet as I usually hear about it only when someone found the “magic trick” to it.
