Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Advanced Techniques / September 2007

I am having an issue in CF8 that I did not see in earlier versions. Consider
this code inside a function in a CFC:

<cfscript>
    var err1 =  0;
    try {
        some code here;
    } catch (Any err1) {
        some code here;
    }
</cfscript>

In CF8, I am getting the error "Cannot declare local variable err1 twice" when
I try to instantiate the CFC. Of course, I get no error if I get rid of the var
err1 = 0 line, but is this thread-safe? (Changing the variable declaration to
"var err1 = structtNew() doesn't work either.)
