What does “stack overflow at line 873” mean? [closed] When I am reading the NY Times online, this box pops up with the words “stack overflow at line 873” BE GENTLE I am not a techie 5 vote down It means there is a programming error on the NYT web site. Stack Overflow is also, as you’ve noticed, the name of a question and answer site for programmers. But we probably don’t know anything about the NYT site, unfortunately. 1 vote down Probably it’s a bug in their code (server side but more likely client side, as in Javascript). Infinite loops can sometimes lead to that error since the computer manages (at least some of its) memory in a stack and infinite loops tend to try and take it all away. Sources: http://stackoverflow.
