Not only it will kill the server, but it will kill your box as well :)
If it causes the connection to hang, it is no different to just
telnetting to the server and talking enough of the protocol to keep
the connection open for the full Timeout.
That doesn't fit the definition of "kill the server".
If httpd/openssl/whatever started spinning, then it would be a whole
different matter, but I am assuming that isn't the case here.
