Rollers: Are they bad for your frame ?

    Got myself a set of cyclops resistance rollers recently due to being unable to ride in cold weather, for the time being, because of lower back issues... My winter bike has a serious "ovalisation", due to being battered unmercifully touring, commutering and general abuse on the rear wheel, which is like riding a bucking bronco on the rollers... so i have the flagship, which is lugged steel, on the rollers for the time being untill i can get a new wheel on... Is there any possibility i will be putting undue stress laterally on the frame and/or fork ? i have heard that captive turbo trainers have a tendency to stress a frame, logically the rollers shouldn't, but with that said, i would really appreciate any advice from folks that know better...
    Appreciated...
