Long story short: I had put quotes around the word false

To fix it, lose the quotes
class { 'foo' : boolFlag = false }
It all depends what is done with boolFlag in your parametrized class.
More specifically what doesn't work is:
if false {
}
Because a string when (internally) converted to a boolean is true.
This was discussed 2 days ago (look when the thread changes name):
http://groups.google.com/group/puppet-users/browse_thread/thread/3dfba6566d97880e/c473deea3f302410?#
And this is tracked in the following bug:

Re: [Puppet Users] Learn from MY Mistake: false != false
Thanks for pointing that out for two reasons:
(1) In the flow of the mailing list, simple little tricks like this can flash
right past you if you are not reading carefully.
(2) That thread gave me a better approach for what I am doing in my class.
Thanks again, everyone !
