Exactly.  It's Coldfusion that's to blame.  A useragent that does not
begin with "Mozilla/n.n" where n.n is in the range 0 to 4.9  will cause
this error.   A search on Google for the "Error Occurred While 
Processing Request" message produced 232,000 hits.  And Google spiders
use "Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)" as their
useragent.

I have sent a message to Macromedia support -- but they'll probably
ignore it because I'm not a customer :-(
