Sadly yes, probably! :( I have tried to repeat exactly the same 
configuration here several time with our CQWW log (>8000 Qs) and I still 
have access to the cluster.

If you still have your setup ready, can you try to start a second 
wtDxTelnet instance? Don't connect to anywhere, just try to send 
anything from WT (Alt+T): you should get a "Syntax error" back from the 
second instance. You can then close the second wtDxTelnet.

You can also try to disconnect the cluster on the first instance, then 
try to send anything in ALT+T again and see if you receive back a 
"syntax error". I guess you should not...

I have no further test to suggest for now. Are you able to repeat the 
problem several time?

Many thanks!
