Of course not. I mean an attacker who is specially interested in this server 
and knows that someone has requested a debug window on it.

If there's someone on the Internet who can scan every TLS server on the planet
once a minute to see a brief debug window open up, and then perform something
like a million-message-attack using a single debug message, then they're kinda
wasting their abilities in attacking TLS servers...
