Yes. XMLHttpRequest::m_binaryResponseBuilder keeps the downloaded data in a 
Vector, so any time there is much data, something bad will happen. This is a 
case that we should support, and not just crash as we would when we think that 
only exploits would try to use as much memory.

All code that is Blob related also uses Vectors, and of course Blobs can 
legitimately be large.

Crypto code uses Vectors internally for the data.

These and related uses are all over the place - see also Vectors in 
FormDataBuilder, data returned from FrameLoader::loadResourceSynchronously, 
plug-in code that loads from network, SharedBuffer etc.
