Yep, try/catch was how I was getting the error message I showed, it just
was out in the main logic and not in the subroutine.
Thanks for finding the issue, that's exactly what I meant by obvious!

Howard,

One thing I might suggest is to try/catch the logic and dump the cfcatch
scope into an email. This will probably yield you a more robust error
report than what you see here.

I took your function and modified it just a bit to see if I could find
something out. It looks like that, when you set the date as “31oct2012”,
the reason its yielding an error is because of your list being out of
chronological order. Oct and Nov are switched. I fixed them up; the
function returns the expected data.

Actually that date string works ok. But 31Oct2011 does not. 30Oct2011
is ok, Halloween isn't. Grr.
