LSP crashes on large rust files in Windows

[BrianShTsoi]

Summary

When opening a large rust file, lsp crashes and can't be recovered with lsp-restart. This behaviour is only on Windows. I tested with Linux (WSL Ubuntu) and cannot reproduce the crash. I also cannot reproduce with VSCode on Windows, so this is not a rust-analyzer issue.

Reproduction Steps

I tried this:

1. hx
2. Open a large rust file, such as this

I expected this to happen:
LSP works properly.

Instead, this happened:
LSP crashes. It gives the request timeout message.

This is almost certainly a RA bug.

I cannot think of any way that would be related to helix. RA js encountering a stack overflow. The difference to vscode likely comes from the fact that the RA extension bundles RA and autoupdates to the latest nightly. With rustup you are likely using a stable ra release which would be much older.
