I spent long hours banging my head on this one last year. Essentially,
cflocation sends out new headers, immediately, without waiting for anything
else in the script. cfcookie sends out the cookie when the headers go out -
unless cflocation got there first, which it always does, regardless of
where in the script it is, in which case cfcookie doesn't get to do anything.
This is confusing like a very confusing thing when you first come across
it, I know.
