I'm not Steve, but I can definitely vouch for this problem. We were using it to make a simple external call to a program and, running top, you could see the entire parent process (JRun, in this case) duplicated just to run the external program, including RAM. Search the archives for more details as this has come up a couple of times now. Essentially: Do not use cfexecute on *nix systems, whether it be Linux or Solaris.
