cgi.http_referrer works most of the time... but not all ...

if a user attempts to go directly to a page ( for instance from a bookmark )
without passing through a previous page, then there isn't any
cgi.http_referrer variable when they get to the page... you can use <cfparam
name="cgi.http_referrer" value=""> to ensure that it's defined, although
that's probably not related to the problem you're having... though it does
highlight the point that the http_referrer is provided to the server by the
browser much like the http_user_agent variable...

I would check to see what kind of antivirus or privacy type software they're
using -- I have seen av/privacy software in the past force the browser to
not pass the referrer info when it requests new urls through links and
forms...
