OK, I see your point. If the request is to in-house code that
does something silly, sure, that's user error and not a zope bug.
Some of these are a bit obscure to the newbie (e.g. I had an
external method happily using urllib2, until a firewall change 
caused that method to lock up my whole site. I hadn't thought
about the lack of a timeout.)

I understood the OP to be asking if there are known issues where
a fresh-out-of-the-box zope site can be brought down by a certain
request. These would go in the collector.
