A breadcrumb display is not bound to a user session in any way, it's
strictly related to the current request.
Joe's suggestion to use the custom tag framework that CF provides is
superior even to that, because it allows multiple invocations of the
tag on a single request to remain totally independant, but that's
probably not much of an issue with breadcrumb generation.

I tried creating new columns for generation and parent root but got stuck when I was trying to get the path for a 3rd generation crumb with several 2nd generation crumbs that shared the same root, if that makes any sense. In other words, I could get the first and last breadcrumbs without problems but getting the second was a bit difficult without something to tell the system which second generation crumb to use.
