Problem:
The default client variable storage mechanism on a windows server is the windows registry. If this default is not changed, client variables can eventually crash the server with no simple way to recover. The default storage mechanism on a linux server is a text file, which is better, but not very scalable. The default should be something that scales better and will not crash the server. I suggest, as an easy obvious win with technology that is already bundled in ColdFusion Server, a Derby database as the default. Even better would be a CouchDB or MongoDB integrated with CF, but that may be extreme. Another option is Ehcache with 'diskpersistence.'
Method:
To reproduce, install CF, do not change any client variable storage settings, then create a few thousand sessions inside an application with client variables enabled. Eventually the server should crash and be unrecoverable.
