If you really want to try this, then have OTHER applications running
on the server at the same time that create and destroy session,
application and other variables.. Since CF is interpreted, uses memory
for storage of variables, at some point (version specific) a "Garbage
Collector" will come along and reorder those memory variables for you.
When that happens, you will see exceptions.
