Yes, all java vars need to be typed, but it seems strange that CF seems
to think that the string is a date, tries converting it and fails.

Unfortunately the problem was that I *didn't* want it to be a date, just
a string that happened to be formatted to look like a date...

Ho hum, I got around the problem, but it just seems strange that the
problem should occur on one installation and not others...  :o\
