Math support under HHVM apparently missing on enWS?

Initial report buried here. Salient details are: when previewing results of modifying a <math> expression on English WikiSource with HHVM enabled, this error is presented:

Failed to parse (Missing <code>texvc</code> executable. Please see math/README to configure.):
\scriptstyle{i=\frac{702\cdot25}{2\times10}=35\cdot11,\quad\mu=1\cdot738} .

Notes:

  • The second line of the error message is simply informational regarding the input LaTeX string and is not likely pertinent to this report.
  • The error reliably goes away when HHVM is deselected from Beta choices.
  • Reliably returns when both HHVM reenabled and the previewed formula is tweaked to force re-evaluation.
  • There is no problem displaying cached results irrespective of HHVM state.
  • There may be further significance in the fact that <code> does not appear to have been parsed by the error processor.
  • Verified similar results on English WikiPedia.

This bug is tracked at bugzilla:71224. It was also briefly discussed on IRC, I'll ping the participants from that. (Also, good details! I'll copy your comment to the bugreport, for centralized notes)

A brilliant fix. Please pass on my thanks to those involved.
