I'm not familiar with this specific bug, so I probably won't be very much help. Normally, however, CFCONTENT doesn't really do that much - it returns an HTTP content-type header, and if used with the FILE attribute, fetches that file and returns it. What exactly is crashing? The server? The browser? What did MM say caused the issue? What did MS say caused the issue?
