I just want to point out something that I think is important to note. CF4.5
is a basically a re-write from scratch. Previous version of CF that worked
on Solaris relied on a third-party solution to emulate NT under Solaris. The
reason they used the Bristol solution, was so they could port to Solaris
quickly. All of the code up until CF4.5 was very NT-centric, this caused a
lot of problems with Solaris-as well, it didn't make the code very portable
either. In order to improve efficiency, as well as to develop for more
platforms, they've rewritten the majority of the code in CF4.5 for cross
platform compatibility.
This is the reason there may be some new issues on the Solaris platform that
weren't there before. However, I think most Solaris users would probably
tell you that the new code is a huge improvement over the old code. In
essence CF4.5 is a "first generation release"-there is a lot of first
generation code in this build.
I just thought this was worth mentioning for those reading this thread. As
it is important to note that many aspects of the internal workings of
ColdFusion have changed-and changed for the better.

Subject: Re: Is 4.5.1 Solid
If this was CF's first release it wouldn't bother me so much...however,
Allaire had it right in versions 1.5-4.01 and in 4.51...they just flat
screwed up in 4.5 and I'm not going to be an apologist for them. There are
NO issues of cross-platform programming. If so then why did it work fine in
every release UNTIL and AFTER 4.5?
