Description

We are experiencing a RangeError similar to issue #93 in our Node.js app. I haven't been able to reproduce it and it seems to be occurring randomly at times.

/usr/src/app/node_modules/source-map-support/source-map-support.js:331
   Object.getOwnPropertyNames(Object.getPrototypeOf(frame)).forEach(function(name) {
                                                            ^

RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

We are using the latest version 0.5.13 and latest 10 version of Node.js

Research direction
Investigate the cause of the infinite recursion in cloneCallSite. The error occurs at source map support.js:331 in the function that gets prototype properties. Look at issue #93 for similar reports. Create a minimal reproduction to trigger the error. Consider if the frame object has a circular reference. Check if the fix involves adding a depth limit or using a non recursive approach.
