A request exceeded the timeout - Shutting down server

[Jami]

Hi all,
Last evening I had some problems with a form I had developed. Two errors occurred "A request exceeded the timeout." Each error was followed by "The unresponsive thread count is up to 1." and "The unresponsive thread count is up to 2." respectively. I reviewed my code and tested this morning and had no problems. These errors shut down the CF server.

Is it possible that because this is a form, something is being submitted that is causing my script to hang, which is generating these timeout errors? Also, has anyone seen such errors shut down the CF server before?

Any help would be so appreciated. Thanks!
Jami

that's mostly why you should validate your forms !!!
imagine if you send this query : select ... from ... where id=#form.id#
and if #form.id# is "select * from id_table" or anything ... (there are some tricky request that don't require the user to know your data organization and yet can crash both your base AND servers)
