Rick,

I noticed you mention that you use CFINSERT.  From your earlier postings I know you 
are on CF 4.5x, as I am.

You're likely to discover that CFINSERT and/or CFUPDATE sometimes blow sky-high on CF 
4.5x (at least) when working with mySQL (3.23 for sure, and maybe 4.0x).  In threads 
on the subject over at the (then) Allaire forums no specific cause was ever traced.  
It just happens.  Sometimes.

In one of those threads I believe it was Paul Hastings who advised me to 'just say no 
to cfinsert/cfupdate' and it ranks as some of the best CF advice I ever got.  On the 
surface those tags appear to be handy shortcuts, but they black-box your SQL, take 
away the otherwise granular control you should have and make debugging ... difficult.

I suggest you follow the same advice -- you'll probably find out you have to, anyway.  
While you're at it go for the double bonus and implement cfqueryparam.

Happy Monday (early) :)
