I'd be curious to know what platform Steve encountered this problem on.

I have cfagent doing a TON of work as part of my RedHat 9 installation
procedure and in maintaining the machines thereafter.  Yesterday I had
one cfagent run hang after dropping content just like what Steve pointed
out in a file:

In my case, it was a different file, but my recollection of the bogus
content is just like the above.

It has only happened once that I'm aware of.  I wrote it off as a fluke,
blew away the goobered file on the target machine and started over.  All
was well after that.  :-)
