This means Coldfusion uses old and buggy Java implementation, which attempts to poke into glibc internals that weren't meant for application's use and were removed a few years ago. Either upgrade the Java in it to some non-broken version, or you can download ftp://people.redhat.com/drepper/libcwait.c compile/link it: gcc -O2 -fpic -shared -o libcwait.so libcwait.c and LD_PRELOAD=path_to_libcwait/libcwait.so coldfusion_install
