David, I had the same problems when I upgraded to MX. I was using CFXid3 or something like that, and it was using a COM object. The object for one reason or the other wouldn't always load, and when it did, it wasn't reliable. Sometimes locking up my treads.
So I moved everything over to a java class, and have had a lot of success. I'll send you the CFC this weekend, I need to strip it down and take out all of my internal stuff, like updating my database, and loading directories.
