Thanks, but the problem was actually someone elses. I just replied asking
them to provide more info to help diagnose it. I'm not using CF anymore
except on the odd job here and there when a client insists their site be
hosted on windows.
I'm just monitoring people's experiences with the Linux versions, and
Allaire's response to problems experienced if any.
