FVH deploys some recursive logic to extract terms from documents that need to highlighted. For documents that have terms with super large term frequency like a document that repeats a terms very very often this can produce some very large stacks when extracting the terms. Taken to an extreme this causes stack overflow errors when this grow beyond a term frequency >= 6000.
The ultimate solution is a iterative implementation of the extract logic but until then we should protect users from these massive term extractions which might be not very useful in the first place.

I will attach a possible fix and a test case that reproduces the problem in a bit.
