Your cfid/cftoken pair there includes a UUID -- there's a 
setting in the CFMX Administrator that will enable or 
disable ... I believe it'd cfid as a UUID. UUID's aren't 
syntactically valid in something like 

isdefined("session.blah#createuuid()#") 

You have two options as I see it to fix this problem in 
particular. The first is to disable the UUID's as cfid's in the 
CFMX Administrator. The second is to replace the isdefined with 
this: 

structkeyexists(session,"spahish1#cfid##cftoken#")

Or you could do both... Even if you don't turn off the UUID's, 
I would definitely use the structkeyexists() instead of the 
isdefined(). I don't know if this will resolve your whole issue 
but I hoep it helps. :)

Original Message -----------------------
To recap:

When users to our site (running CFMX (with Updater 3 applied) on top of 
JRun 4 (sp 1a applied) on top of Apache 2.44 with a SQL Server 2000 backend 
-- ew) happen to clear their cache and cookies while logged into our site, 
they can never log in again.  I must point out that this is a newly 
discovered behavior, and our site has been working fine for 
years.  Originally I thought that this error was limited to clients running 
IE, but I now know that clients running Netscape or any of its derivatives 
(Mozilla, Firebird) will have the same problem.  I haven't tried Opera 
yet.  The error is client specific, meaning that only certain users are 
getting the error; for other users, everything works out just fine.  And 
again, this is new behavior.  These users were getting to our site just fine.

I've received some pretty good suggestions from the other members of this 
list, so thanks to all!  Unfortunately, not much has changed, except that 
I've got our custom error page spitting out more info.  The specific error 
that I've got now is this:
    * Parameter 1 of function IsDefined, which is now 
"session.spanish1202d2ad76445536e6d-AFD6A182-F39D-EBCE-9A2A2E3A0ED188C5", 
must be a syntactically valid variable name
In the actual page (which is Application.cfm), this is what the code looks 
like:

cfif isDefined("session.spanish1#cfid##cftoken#")

I don't know what could have happened to all of a sudden make this variable 
name syntactically invalid.  I should point out that we have this same code 
in dozens of other places, working just fine.

The only thing that has changed since when this worked properly for 
everyone was that our database was modified; the data from our production 
server was copied down to this server.  But as far as I can tell, nothing 
else in the database has changed.

We've tried clearing out the cache and cookies for the affected computers, 
restart their browser, restarting their computer.  We have tried restarting 
JRun.  We have tried clearing out the Java classes for the pages that JRun 
builds while running.  We've even tried rebooting the server.  None of 
these has helped.

Any thoughts at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
