Watch out for endless loops, where the tag calls itself indefinitely. I
usually put some preventative code in there so that it doesn't execute for X
amount of time.
For instance:
<cfif not isDefined("request.foo_tag_time")>
<cfset request.foo_tag_time = now()>
</cfif>
<cfif dateDiff("n", request.foo_tag_time, now()) GT 1>
The tag ran over 1 minute <cfabort>
</cfif>
