Node socket.io server crash when starts

I have a socket.io server and a client runing correctly. Each time that the server is down, the client try to connect again each 5 seconds. When the server is up again they connect without problems.

But the problem comes when I wait long time before up the server again, when the server is up, it crashes showing :

info  - socket.io started
debug - client authorized
info  - handshake authorized DqN4t2YVP7NiqQi8zer9

buffer.js:287
  pool = new SlowBuffer(Buffer.poolSize);
         ^
RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

Client reconnection (Executed each 5 seconds while is not connected):

function socket_connect() {
    if (!socket) {
        socket = io.connect('http://192.168.1.25:8088', { 'reconnect':false, 'connect timeout': 5000 });
    } else {
        socket.socket.connect();
    }
    socket.on("connect", function () {
        clearInterval(connect_interval);
        connect_interval = 0;
        socket.emit('player', { refresh_data:true });
    });
}

On server side, only with the socket instance, it crashes:

var io = require('socket.io').listen(8088);

I think that the problem is:

When the server goes up, it recive all the connections emited by the client each 5 seconds, (15 hours disconnected * 60 m * 60 s / 5 seconds reconnection) and it crashes.

What can i do to close the connections that the server try to do?

PS:If i reload the client, and after up the server, it works

The main idea for socket.io.js is to reuse an existing connection. You should only connect it once and then exchange messages by using socket.emit()

I am not sure why you are creating a new connection between your client and server for every 5 seconds. There is a limit on the number of connections the server can create, but that should be more than enough. If you put it in a loop then eventually the server will run out of sockets.

io.connect has to be executed once on the client, then may be you can socket.emit() every 5 seconds. Remove the { 'reconnect':false, 'connect timeout': 5000 } and you will be fine.

I founded the problem...

Each time that the function socket_connect() is called, a "socket.on("connect" ..." function is created. So when the server turns up, a new connection is created, but the event "socket.on("connect" is fired multiple times...

The solution was:

function socket_connect() {
    if (!socket) {
        socket = io.connect('http://192.168.1.25:8088', { 'reconnect':false, 'connect timeout': 5000 });
    } else {
        socket.socket.connect();
    }
}

socket.on("connect", function () {
        clearInterval(connect_interval);
        connect_interval = 0;
        socket.emit('player', { refresh_data:true });
    });
