Apparently the problem with cfheader is a file size issue. As of CF9, it seems to load the entire file into memory before downloading it, so if the file is too large you get the out of memory. Apparently this was not a problem in previous CF Releases, which explains why this used to work and started giving me issue on the newer sites.
To fix this you can increase the JVM Heap Size max, or you can use the solution provided by Ben Nadel at http://www.bennadel.com/blog/1227-Using-ColdFusion-To-Stream-Files-To-The-Client-Without-Loading-The-Entire-File-Into-Memory.htm >From what I read this was not a problem before CF9.

For now, increasing the Java Heap Size Max has solved the problem.
