Okay. I was quick to blame Allaire and still do, albeit for a different reason.

First, we locked all the session variables
Second, we cleaned up rogue code that allowed huge record set returns on 
queries.
Finally, we've watched our logs religiously and fixed any bad code that 
became apparent.

So, at this point we're relatively stable, though I'm still not convinced 
we're out of the woods.

Allaire has erred in judgement in their locking concept. If a variable 
needs to be locked, it should be done automatically in the program and not 
by putting extra code around it... that does not make sense.

Secondly, Allaire decided to allow CF to hold onto memory without release 
("to build to a plateau") without the ability to control how much memory 
should be retained. We should have the ability to  tell the system the max 
amount of memory we are willing to have the server hold without using swap 
or (as was happening to us) running out of virtual memory and crashing the 
server.
