Heap OOM in utils.quote regex test

I have a meteor web app that uses sockjs under the hood. Occasionally, I see this OOM issue, and it always points to the same line of code.

Is there something I can do to workaround this.

Start at lib/utils.js:124, where quote invokes the regex test shown in the stack trace, and compare its behavior with the reported 198,024,197-character string. Done requires identifying and verifying a fix or documented workaround for the heap OOM, but the issue provides no reproduction procedure or test.
