In ColdFusion 5, the statements below were valid and returned a proper
regular expression:

replaceList(list_URLFragmentsToIgnore, "$,[,],.,(,),{,},^,|,?,*,+,/" ,
"\$,\[,\],\.,\(,\),\{,\},\^,\|,\?,\*,\+,[/\]")
REFindNoCase(RE_URLFragmentsToIgnore,"xxxxxx/system32/cmd.exe")

In MX, the following error was returned:

Malformed regular expression
"(system32[/\]cmd\.exe|WebHelp[/\]nsdnsfix\.jar|WebHelp[/\]WebHelpBeanInfo\.c
lass|WebHelp[/\]WebHelp\$COMClassObject\.class|[/\]MSADC[/\]|[/\]IISAdmin[/\]
|[/\]scripts[/\]|[/\]samples[/\]|[/\]root\.exe|MSOffice[/\]|[/\]_vti_)".

When I changed the replaceList command to:

replaceList(list_URLFragmentsToIgnore, "$,[,],.,(,),{,},^,|,?,*,+,/" ,
"\$,\[,\],\.,\(,\),\{,\},\^,\|,\?,\*,\+,\/")

It worked fine again.  I'm assuming that since MX uses the Jrun engine, it
uses a different RegEx parser.  Anyone out there have a reference to the
changes in regular expression parsing in MX?
