The syntax problem was due to wrong copying of the Mathematica code in
StandardForm. Is there any better way of copying it in InputForm?

The kernel simply quits, if the depth of recursion is big. The same
problem has be observed by Johan and reported here:

I'm sorry, 'i' was meant for 'l'. Too many equations with different
sums, makes it difficult to report.

The Solution for Pi/3 is faster, but in case of 'Pi/4' and higher 'l'
it simply quits. I provide u the correct version of the code and also
for a[i] and b[i], well, probably copying it as InputForm in
Mathematica can give better understanding...:
